Calysta is an outgoing teen who loves to meet new people and is very passionate about her many hobbies.

A born performer, Calysta enjoys singing and dancing and hopes to take guitar lessons and ballroom classes to strengthen her skills. Additionally, Calysta likes to do her hair and makeup alone or while spending time with her friends.

Calysta does well in school and is very excited about high school and her future. She hopes to find either a single mother or a two-parent home that will celebrate her many successes with her and cheer her on as she works toward her goals.
