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 really wants an Oculus headset. It would give him a fun way to escape, especially since he lives in a place with limited entertainment options. He’s smart and creative, so he would love the immersive experiences that virtual reality offers. With the Oculus, he could explore educational content, dive into science simulations, or just relax with some games. It would give him a personal space to unwind, learn, and discover new virtual worlds. Having this would not only provide him with entertainment but could also spark his interest in science and technology, helping him come up with new ideas in fields like genetics or engineering. It’s more than just fun; it’s a chance for him to grow, explore, and express his creativity.
