Meet Nex
They might be young, but Nex is quite sophisticated for her age. Take, for instance, her preference in conversation. They don’t settle for mere chit-chat. “They tend to gravitate toward older peers as she enjoys having more mature conversations,” says a close adult acquaintance of Nex.
Then there’s her career choice that relies on one of her biggest interests. Omaryana wants to become a cosmetologist because she loves styling hair. She’s still a kid to the core, however. Omarayana loves playing volleyball and GaGa ball, the variation of Dodgeball. She loves making art and doing other creative activities.

Meet Cecilia
CeCe, aka Cecilia, plans to travel the four corners of the world … and a few curves and straight-aways along the way. “If I could visit one place on Earth, it would be all over the world,” explains CeCe, “because I want to learn about all the cultures and food.” Her long journey might include a pit stop at Bath & Body Works because CeCe loves the store chain’s makeup.
“I am a neat, organized and clean person.” She also takes pride in her smile, her intelligence and her empathy for others. “I care a lot about people,” says CeCe, who plans to put her caring nature to work as a pediatrician or nurse when she gets older.

Meet Hailey
As if she’s not adorable already, Hailey dreams of being even more of a cutie-beauty. She says she wants a makeover so she can be “the prettiest girl on Earth.” She’ll likely dress in sharp-looking attire – she enjoys shopping, and she loves jewelry and clothes – so she looks her best, and she’ll stay positive even in the darkest of times. Hailey’s clothing will look anything but dark since her favorite colors are blue, pink and purple. Hailey’s favorite animal is a dog. She currently enjoys walking dogs in her neighborhood, and she volunteers at an animal shelter.
If Hailey’s dreams come true, she’ll visit Disney World then travel to golden sand, white waves and blue ocean.

Meet Kakashi
Saying Kakashi likes flags is a bit akin to saying stars come out at night. OK, so his “banner benevolence” isn’t quite that obvious.

Kakashi loves anything related to water – kayaking, swimming, watching the fountain at the park, playing in the water table at the children’s museum and playing in the rain, to name a few. Kakashi also loves music; he has an old phone with a music app and he is constantly listening to his favorite songs.
