Salina wants to be a teacher
Posted
By Clint Williams
Salina thrives in the classroom and she wants to stay there when she is grown up.
“I want to be a teacher because I want to teach kindergartners their ABCs and stuff,” Salina says.
Salina likes to find new dance moves by searching for music videos on YouTube. The video website is also her favorite source for music to listen to. Salina loves Disney movies and playing team sports.
“I like playing soccer, volleyball and basketball,” she says.
And before the game – or when the game is over – Salina likes to eat bacon and eggs, and hot wings.
Salina gets along well with other children and would thrive in a forever family in which she is the youngest child,” says youth advocate Monique Cableka.
“Salina would do well in a one or two parent household that has experience with children with special needs,” Cableka says.
