Paul, 16 years old

Wish submitted by:

Paul is kind and thoughtful, with a bright spirit and a heart full of care and resilience. He is known for having good manners, always saying “please” and “thank you,” and for looking out for his siblings to ensure everyone feels included. Paul loves playing basketball and baseball, enjoying both the competition and teamwork that come with the games. Although he sometimes struggles with feelings of loneliness, his favorite subject in school is math because he enjoys problem-solving and working with numbers. One day, he hopes to join the military to serve his country and build a strong future for himself. His favorite color is blue, and when he’s not outside playing sports, he enjoys watching Batman. Despite facing challenges, Paul remains positive and hopeful for his future.

For his 16th birthday, Paul wishes for a Carowinds season pass so he can celebrate his birthday weekend there. This summer, he wants to enjoy the rides, cool off at the water park, and create fun memories with his friends all season long. He feels he has wasted much of his childhood worrying, and now he wants to spend it doing something exciting, like riding roller coasters.
