Wislande (age 19)
“She works hard to be that good.”
Wislande is good at many things, and she works hard to be that good. She loves to play music – picking up guitar, piano and recorder — and perform at musical festivals in the area. She is very good in sports, excelling in soccer and basketball. Her soccer coach on our summer classes said she was an excellent passer, good with accuracy and a solid kick too.
She’s also a sincere, dedicated friend. Her sense of what is right and just does not stop her from trying to help others come to some reasonable solution to problems.
She’s taken to the responsibilities with her move to the Maison de Jaismine, our more independent house for girls 18 and older. Unlike some of the other girls, she enjoys cooking for the Maison, even when she has to wake up at 5 or 6 a.m. She tries new menus and will taste them too!
In school, Wislande puts in the extra time to understand what she is studying. She says she thinks that she may like to become a doctor, or someone in the medical profession.
