Wednesday's Child: 15-year-old Lilyann

MARE - Lily is a creative, energetic, and caring girl with a bright personality. She loves to sing, practice gymnastics, and learn new TikTok dances. 

Music is a big part of her life, and she also enjoys journaling as a way to express her thoughts and ideas. 

With her playful sense of humor and love for lighthearted banter, Lily easily connects with those around her. She is a natural leader with a strong, take-charge attitude and is an excellent advocate not only for herself but also for others. 

Lily has already expressed that she hopes to become a teacher one day, a goal that reflects both her confidence and her caring nature.
