Wish submitted by:
Children, Youth and Families DepartmentDarius grew up in foster care and aged out, but he continues to receive state assistance. He has been working hard and striving for success, and he is optimistic about his future. Darius has successfully adjusted to living independently without constant support from others.
Darius has registered for college and is going to start his basic classes in January. Darious wants his own laptop, so he doesn't have to use the college computer lab all the time. Darious is excited that he will be the first in his biological family to attend college. Darious has the support of his foster family to attend college.
Children, Youth and Families Department requests this wish for Darius.

"I taught at a community college for a long time and know that a laptop of your own will let your get your work done much more conveniently and efficiently. My main advice is to get an online or paper planner and put all the class and assignment dates in it, as well as other appointments right away. Check it daily and look forward to plan your time well. The online planners can send you reminders to help you stay on track, too. With great hopes for a successful semester, Sarah"
