Florida Foster Care Review

Amariya is genuinely working hard to adapt to the changes in her environment, even as she faces challenges in her foster home. Although her older siblings have chosen different paths, she is committed to forging her own. She is focused on her goals, trying to catch up academically, and staying positively engaged through her participation in cheerleading. The instability of moving between foster homes and experiencing periods both in and out of care has caused her to fall behind in school, but she remains undeterred. Determined to break the cycle and create a brighter future for herself, she demonstrates remarkable strength, perseverance, and a clear sense of purpose.

Amariya has recently discovered a sense of belonging in a cheer community, making wonderful new friends after transitioning to a new foster home at the end of the school year. She's truly enjoying her cheer experience and is excited about the opportunity to further her growth by enrolling in a summer camp. This new chapter in her life not only highlights her passion for cheerleading but also emphasizes the importance of the friendships and support she has found along the way.
