Skyler, 11 years old

Wish submitted by:

Skyler is a passionate reader with a vivid imagination, constantly eager to learn and share her thoughts about the books she enjoys. Her intelligence shines through in her engaging conversations, though she occasionally struggles with past traumas that make her feel reserved and cause social anxieties. As a devoted big sister, she fiercely protects her siblings, stemming from her feelings of abandonment and her deep-seated desire to keep the family unit intact, making her recent placement where they could stay together a significant comfort for her. Skyler finds joy in bright colors and animation, as they uplift her spirit and encourage her creativity, empowering her to navigate her challenges while nurturing her love for learning and connection.

Skylar is an enthusiastic young artist who is eager to expand her skills by taking art classes this spring and summer, particularly to learn new techniques involving color. Having already mastered pencil sketches with the assistance of tutorials and previous classes, she now focuses on incorporating vibrant markers into her artwork. Art has become more than just a hobby for Skylar; it serves as a calming outlet that helps her manage anxiety and negative thoughts, allowing her to channel her emotions positively. Her caregivers are supportive of her passion, actively seeking opportunities for her to further develop her artistic talents, which not only enhances her creativity but also provides her with a sense of peace and focus. She is looking to enroll in an art course that requires a specific brand and quantity of markers as they work on color techniques with alcohol markers. This wish would make her enrollment possible.
