Elijah has several hobbies and interests, including sports, video games, and spending time on his phone. He is a strong advocate for himself and will speak up when he feels something is not right. Elijah has goals of becoming an independent adult and wants to travel. He is interested in attending college and pursuing a career in journalism, photography, or sports media. With a good sense of humor, he is easy to talk to and values family and supportive relationships. Elijah also enjoys playing video games with his friends.

Elijah's greatest wish is to have a professional camera. He hopes to attend college after high school, focusing on photography, journalism, or sports media. To prepare, Elijah wants to strengthen his photography skills and begin building a portfolio for his college applications over the next couple of years. He has a specific camera in mind that he believes would be ideal for this task. Elijah has faced many hardships in his life and continues to deal with trauma and rejection from caregivers. Having an artistic outlet would not only support his future career aspirations but also serve as a valuable coping mechanism and provide him with inspiration.
