Annalise has found a family

Annalise finds joy in the little things that make life colorful and full of creativity. She loves singing, letting her voice flow through every note, while her passion for art shines through her drawings and vibrant coloring. Annalise has a special fondness for the color blue. Dogs and cats bring her comfort, and she's fascinated by the iconic figure of Darth Vader. When it comes to food, Annalise can't resist the flavors of Mexican and Italian dishes. Skateboarding gives her a sense of freedom, but she's excited to learn how to roller skate and expand her skills. Music and instruments are calling her, and she dreams of mastering them. With a heart full of compassion, Annalise envisions a future as a nurse or a police officer, helping others in meaningful ways. If she could have any superpower, invisibility would be her choice, allowing her to explore the world in her own way. 

She is now in the eighth grade. Making friends, choir, and photography are a few highlights of her school day.​
