Talia, 17 years old, NC |

Wish submitted by:

Talia is an outgoing and resilient teenager who still is enthusiastic about learning and her future. She is ambitious and athletic. After being out of school due to family circumstances and parental choices, she is now back in high school. She loves going to school and learning – she especially likes her AVID class (Advancement Via Individual Determination). Talia hopes to run track and try out for the step team. She has a dream of opening her own therapy practice that focuses on young children and the elderly. She says that she feels like these two populations are overlooked when it comes to mental health.

Talia is excited about Christmas and has her eyes set on a cool new pair of Jordans. She has a passion for shoes, and this particular style really stands out to her. For Talia, looking good is essential, and shoes play a significant role in her overall appearance. She believes that having the right footwear will help her fit in with her peers and boost her confidence. This Christmas, those Jordans would not only elevate her style but also enhance her sense of self-worth among her friends.
