Paris, 17 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Paris is the youngest of five children and is being raised by a hardworking single mother who has dedicated herself to supporting and caring for her family. Paris travels back and forth between her mother’s and father’s homes and has learned to adapt through many transitions while continuing to stay focused on her goals and future. She is a playful, outgoing, and determined young lady who loves being involved in school activities. Paris has participated in ROTC, choir, cheerleading, and basketball, all while maintaining good grades and working hard academically. Her dedication and perseverance recently led to her being accepted into Ohio Wesleyan University, where she will attend in the fall after receiving a $5,000 scholarship. She plans to study Performing Arts and hopes to eventually join the military after completing school. Although Paris has faced emotional and mental challenges that many teenagers should never have to carry, she continues taking life one day at a time with strength and resilience. She is focused on creating a brighter future for herself while continuing to grow personally and academically. Paris is excited for this next chapter and all the opportunities that college will bring.

Paris loves gaming with friends, but during the colder months, they can't get together as much as they would like. That's why getting a gaming headset would be a great idea - it would help boost Paris' mood and keep her connected with her friends, even when they can't physically be together. Plus, it would be a fun way to socialize and bond with friends!
