Jay from Pennsylvania

Jay is very quiet and reserved when she first meets someone. She prefers to observe and learn things about people before deciding she wants to let someone get to know her. When Jay is comfortable around someone, she is outgoing, bubbly, and loves to talk. Jay has some amazing qualities; she is kind, sweet, funny, determined, affectionate, honest, and trustworthy. She loves dyeing her hair different colors, getting extensions, painting her nails, doing her make-up, and shopping for clothes and shoes. Her favorite stores are Target and T.J. Maxx. She also likes to collect perfume; her favorite is Coconut Snowball from Bath and Body Works. Jay also enjoys doing crafts, coloring, drawing, and painting. She loves listening to rap and hip-hop but doesn't have a favorite artist; she wants to listen to anything she can dance to. She enjoys playing games, watching movies, and reading books. Her favorites are the "Twilight" series. What is most important to Jay is spending quality time with the people in her life. She is compassionate and loves to be helpful. Jay aspires to be a caseworker or social worker when she grows up because she feels that, having lived through difficult times, she would have a better understanding of children and youth. Paternal rights have not been terminated for Jay.
