About Dalila
Creativity runs deep in Dalila’s soul, and her talent could take her far. “Dalila is creative and artistic and is talented at drawing, and she should be given the opportunity to continue practicing this skill,” says one of her close adults. “Dalila does not currently participate in extracurricular activities at school, but she has an interest in participating in basketball, volleyball, track, choir and band.” She participates in a youth program and should be encouraged to continue “as she enjoys attending the meetings and events,” her close adult says. Dalila also enjoys singing and listening to contemporary music such as rap and hip hop. She likes being active and enjoys swimming, sledding, bowling, going on walks and going to the mall. When it’s time to slow down, Dalila enjoys watching TV and playing on electronics. “She enjoys collecting stuffed animals and accessories, including scrunchies, bracelets and necklaces,” adds one of Dalila’s close adults. On the weekends, Dalila likes sleeping in. When she’s asked about her future, Dalila says she’s interested in a career in massage therapy. Because she likes to be active, Dalila hopes for a family who shares that interest, but she also hopes they’ll take it easy sometimes by having movie nights together.
“Dalila is a bubbly, friendly, outgoing and kind-hearted teenager,” says a close adult. “Others have also described her as caring and helpful. She is easy to connect with and thrives off interacting with others.”
Dalila would do best with parents who are experienced and trauma informed. Her new forever family must be fierce advocates for any services that she needs to excel. Dalila would benefit from guidance and attention.
