Melquan Bailey
Born- July 3rd 1991 to Catherine Grant.He was born in Rochester, New york at Strong Memorial Hospital. When Melquan was 4 months his mom moved him in with his Aunt where he remained until his early teens. At the age of 15 he went to live with his birth mother. While staying there he started smoking marijuana. After dropping out of school, he moved back with his Aunt Pat, who he now called his mother.

After staying with his Aunt Pat for a couple of months, they both decided that it would be in Melquan's best interest if he went to go live with his birth mom in Orlando, FLa. So when Melquan arrived in Orlando, he did not like it. It was different from the fast paced life he used to live up north. While down there ( about 4 or 5 months) Melquan did nothing with hiself. He did not enroll in school or was not employed, even though he had job interviews. While down south Melquan stayed with his and sister and brother father and mother boyfriend. "It was alright in the begining", melquan said. However with finacial difficulties, his mother's boyfriend began drinking. With drinking came the arguements and accusations. So it led to Catherine getting kickeed out of the house. Melquan was told he could stay but refused and went to a shelter with his mother. They stayed there until they had enough money to buy 2 one-way tickets to their old stomping ground. Not enrolled in school Melquan decided that Job Corps will be the bestt thing for him.
