Wednesday's Child: Capri
By Larry Kane
Produced by Timothy McLaughlin
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Capri is a budding artist. But instead of a paintbrush and canvas, she's using nail polish and fingernails.
"That's like another way to express art," she says. "It's like little canvases on your hand. I don't know how to do animal prints yet, but I do flowers and stuff. And patterns, like Aztec patterns."
She attended beauty school but decided she wants to be an ultrasound technician.
"I wanted to do nursing, but I don't want to do stuff with blood," she admits. "Plus, I like babies."
Even though she's 20 years old, Capri says, she's still looking for a family.
"I'm still applying for college, but I need a place to come back to -- like everybody needs a place to come back to. Like, the place to call home. And I've never had that."
