Ariah came into care several years ago and has not let it slow her down. She is academically driven and will not settle for anything less than her best. Ariah is very fond of books, particularly the Harry Potter series, and spends much of her time learning something new through books. She's a self-proclaimed "nerd." Ariah also enjoys spending time outdoors, including walking, camping, observing nature, and biking. Additionally, Ariah is excited about going to college but is often told that foster care kids "don't even graduate high school," and she is using this as her driving force to excel in school.
Children Youth and Families Department requests this wish for Ariah.

"My dad was a foster kid, and he finished school, graduated college, had a career in the Army (pilot) and then 2 successful businesses after that. So don't listen to the nay-sayers - with your dedication you will get wherever you want to go! Best wishes! "
