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 has been dreaming of having a cozy and functional loft bed with a desk in her room. Her current bed has seen better days, and it's no longer comfortable for her to sleep in. The idea of having a new loft bed is exciting for Paris because it would not only provide her with a comfortable sleeping area but also a dedicated workspace where she can focus on her studies without any distractions. Paris is a studious person, and having a proper study area is crucial to her academic success. With a loft bed that has a desk underneath, she would have everything she needs within reach: her books, notebooks, laptop, and other school supplies. This setup would allow her to concentrate better and be more productive, as she won't have to worry about getting out of bed or moving to a different location to study. Overall, having a loft bed with a desk would be a game-changer for Paris. She would have a cozy, functional, and personalized space that meets all her needs, without having to leave her room.
