Abigail, 15 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Abigail is an amazing young lady who spent much of her life in foster care, but was recently adopted. She loves her cats and enjoys interacting with them constantly. One of her cats is almost always by her side, as it is very attached to her. Being more of an introvert, she prefers to take her time getting to know her peers. While she has close relationships with others, building those connections takes her time.

Abigail is a highly capable student, but she currently faces a significant challenge. She struggles to keep up with the fast-paced note-taking required in high school. When a student spends all their energy trying to capture the teacher's words, they often miss the actual lesson. This can lead to frustration, gaps in learning, and a loss of confidence. This situation is more than just a minor issue; it affects her ability to walk into class without feeling like she is falling behind.
