Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association

Michael is a smart teenager who loves science, especially genetics. As a foster child who has lived in many different homes, he has faced many challenges but has grown stronger and more adaptable because of them. Even with the instability in his life, Michael stays focused and creative in solving problems. He may be quiet, but his ambition and dedication to his dreams are inspiring. With a sharp mind and a resilient spirit, Michael's experiences have shaped him, and he is likely to succeed in his goal of becoming a genetic engineer.

Michael wishes for an Oculus. It would give him a fun escape, especially since he’s living in a residential facility where options for entertainment can be pretty limited. Michael is smart and creative, so he would really enjoy the immersive experiences that virtual reality offers. Whether he's looking to explore educational content, dive into science simulations, or just relax with some games, the Oculus would allow him to engage his mind in new ways. It would provide a personal space for him to unwind, learn, and discover new virtual worlds. With his goals in mind, using the Oculus could spark his interest in science and technology and help him come up with new ideas in areas like genetics or engineering. It’s more than just a way to have fun; it’s a chance for him to grow, explore, and express his creativity.
