Nyla from Pennsylvania

Nyla is a strong, tough, smart, and kind young lady. Once she's comfortable around you, she is very open about her thoughts and feelings. She's easy to talk to and gets along well with adults and peers. She will do anything for the people she loves and is protective of her friends and family. Nyla loves to read, eat Chinese food, and be artsy. Her favorite book genres include romance and horror. She also likes to stretch her creative muscles by drawing. She enjoys sketching people, including her friends, family, characters, and even people she observes from a distance. She would love to become a special education teacher and/or a tattoo artist. Becoming a tattoo artist is important to her because it runs in her family. Nyla feels that her experience helping her younger siblings has sparked an interest in becoming a special education teacher. Nyla likes school, and her favorite subjects are math and science. Outside of school, Nyla enjoys hanging with family and friends, spending time outside, and practicing tattoo art. Parental rights have not been terminated for Nyla.
