Ciara, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

Ciara is a resilient, compassionate, and thoughtful person. She is the oldest of five children and is always thinking about her younger siblings and their wellbeing before her own. She participates in nearly every sport offered in school, such as flag football, wrestling, and softball. On the surface, you would not know that she had been placed in foster care in elementary school. With all this occurring in her life, Ciara was still able to focus on bettering her future by applying for college. Ciara just recently was recruited to a private university for flag football. Ciara is excited about what the future holds. When she can find some free time between sports, homework, and being an older sister, she is a creative when it comes to digital arts. Though she enjoys expressing herself creatively, she is currently debating whether to pursue a degree in her other interests like physical education or psychology.

During her honors classes senior year, Ciara discovered that she prefers to handwrite her notes instead of typing them. Now that she's pursuing her college education, she's thinking of using an iPad and stylus for her academics. Since she feels that information resonates more with her when she scripts rather than types, using an iPad would be perfect for her. It's lighter and smaller than a traditional laptop, making it easier for her to carry around. Another plus is that this format is ideal for creating her digital art in her free time. She's hoping to enter her artwork in art competitions, contests, and exhibitions after high school.
