Graciela is a bright and determined young woman who has thrived despite the challenges of foster care. With a passion for cooking, baking, and watching movies, she brings creativity and warmth to everything she does. Her favorite subject in school was writing, where she excelled at expressing herself through storytelling and reflection. She will be moving out of state to live with a supportive extended family member and plans to attend junior college, where she looks forward to building a future full of opportunity and growth.

Graciela really wants a Pandora charm bracelet as a special gift for her high school graduation. She sees it as something meaningful that she can keep for a long time. Each charm would stand for an important moment in her life, like the challenges she faced in foster care and the goals she achieved in school. As she starts this new chapter, the bracelet will remind her of how far she has come and the dreams she still wants to pursue.
