Ryan Striker

I'm 20yo ex-huster living in Santa Monica, CA. I'm an orphan that was in foster from 8yo to 13 when I struck out on my own. I lived on the street till I was 17. It was hard at times, but I think it made me a better person for it. I'm pretty strong willed, and will defend my friends. I have a boyfriend that I met while on the streets when he was there too. Been together for a few years now.

We took a little vacation from Los Angeles and spent three months living in Vermont. We thought we were going to live there permanently, but we got homesick and came back.

I have a full time job now working at a trendy clothing store, and am an Assistant Manager. It's not the greatest paying job in the world, but it is fun. I'm working on getting my GED so I can attend either Santa Monica College, or UCLA. I want to study photography or creative writing. Or maybe both.
