Born as one of four to a cocaine-addicted mother and schizophrenic father, Haley Bartow was placed into foster care at 12. While in the system, Bartow endured significant trauma from her foster parents, leading her to barely graduate high school. Now, Bartow is a thriving Berkeley student preparing for the LSAT with the loving support of her three sisters.
