Rachel from Virginia

Rachel is a resilient, bright, and bubbly teen. She can form and develop healthy relationships and bonds with family and peers. Advocating for herself and others around her is something that she takes pride in. She loves getting her hair and nails done and having the opportunity to be a "normal" teenage girl. In her free time, Rachel likes to become an artist and dabble in drawing and sketching her very own masterpieces. She also shows off her artistic side by doing her own makeup, which she does extremely well. She recently completed a photography class, and this has been a new interest of hers. She has a desire to work and obtain her own money. She is working on developing her goals for her future and looks forward to obtaining skills to prepare for her independence. In our effort to limit the digital footprint of our children and youth, Virginia has elected to only provide photos to inquiring families. (A digital footprint could be described as a trail left behind when someone uses the internet (e.g. websites visited, social media accounts, photos, etc.). The state wants to be cautious as to who can see and potentially have access to youth’s info.
