About Kenahya
Kenahya, who prefers to go by Kyi, appreciates a good balance of connection and personal space. She describes herself as quiet and appreciates having time alone when she needs to think, though people who spend time with her also see her playful side. Kyi enjoys joking with others and can bring humor into everyday moments. She is sensitive to the feelings of people around her and cares deeply about the people in her life.
Kyi spends much of her time staying active or relaxing after a busy day. She participates in football and track and enjoys being outside. After school she often chooses to rest for a while before settling in to watch TV. One of her favorite ways to unwind is playing video games. On weekends she likes spending time with family and friends. Trips to the mall, laughing together, or simply hanging out are some of the ways she enjoys that time.
At home, Kyi contributes to daily routines and helps with household chores. She enjoys a comfortable environment where she can talk about her day and spend time with others, but she also appreciates having the freedom to step away for quiet time when she needs it. An adult close to her shares that Kyi often brings laughter into the home and works to keep the atmosphere positive.
Kyi enjoys celebrating holidays such as Christmas and Halloween. She looks forward to the traditions that come with them, including gifts and candy. Her favorite color is blue and though she likes lots of animals, wolves are a particular favorite.
Looking ahead, Kyi has talked about becoming a business owner or working in a field where she can build things with her hands. She would also like to travel and hopes to visit Florida someday. She aspires to be successful and help her family. Her sister and her mother remain important to her, and maintaining connections with her birth relatives will continue to matter as she grows.
Kyi would benefit from a family with experience parenting teens who can provide structure, patience, and guidance as she develops coping skills and confidence. She may do well as the oldest child in the home, though that is not required. A family who lives in or near a city would fit her preferences, and a home with pets would be welcome. Most of all, Kyi hopes for a family who will accept her, spend time together, and include her in everyday life while supporting her goals for the future.
