Michelle, 17 years old, NC | 7 DAYS WAITING |

Wish submitted by:

Michelle is a thoughtful and motivated young woman who works hard in school and earns good grades. English is her favorite subject. She has a sensitive nature and enjoys listening to country music, journaling, and writing poetry as a means of self-expression. Michelle describes herself as an introverted extrovert—quiet and reflective, yet deeply connected to the people she loves. She lives with her aunt and three younger siblings, with whom she shares a close bond. Michelle enjoys spending time helping and supporting her family. Despite having limited resources at home, she remains focused on her goals and is eager to take the next steps toward independence and responsibility.

As Michelle's birthday approaches, she really hopes to get a laptop. It would help her with applying for jobs, keeping up with her schoolwork, and pursuing her love for poetry. Since she doesn't have a computer at home, it makes things tough for her. A laptop would make it much easier to fill out job applications, create her resume, and manage her school assignments. Plus, it would give her a place to store and improve her poetry. Her aunt can't afford to buy one, so getting a laptop as a gift would really help Michelle with her education, boost her creativity, and build her confidence as she prepares for the future.
