foster

Read a random definition: serious

A quick definition of foster:

FOSTER: When someone takes care of a child who is not their own, it is called fostering. This can happen when the child's parents are not able to take care of them. The person who takes care of the child is called a foster parent, and the child is called a foster child. It's like having a temporary family until the child can go back to their own family or find a new permanent family.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: (adjective) Involving parental care given by someone not related by blood or legal adoption. (verb) To give care to (something or someone); especially, to give parental care to a child who is not one's natural or legally adopted child.

Adjective: Sarah grew up in a foster home after her parents passed away.

Verb: The animal shelter fosters dogs until they find their forever homes.

These examples illustrate the definition of foster as providing care to someone or something that is not related by blood or legal adoption. In the first example, Sarah is receiving parental care from individuals who are not her biological or adoptive parents. In the second example, the animal shelter is providing temporary care to dogs until they can be adopted into permanent homes.

@windyMagician: UCLA daughter. 100%.
do law schools care about course rigor?
@AcceptableSourGerbil: not really. It's a soft at best. Sadly, LSAC GPA and LSAT are by far the biggest gatekeepers
@AcceptableSourGerbil: you have solid stats though, you should be very proud!
Based on my experience, I don't think most schools care too much about course rigor unfortunately. It might push you over the edge to an A, but it won't get your foot in the door.
