Teen Flips Over Cheering and Gymnastics [TUESDAY’S CHILD]

Cheering and gymnastics are a way of life, and they, along with most teams sports, are all things that 13-year-old Lexus absolutely loves.

Lexus's social worker, Angela Perez, describes the teen as "beautiful, kind, loving, and sweet." She is energetic, eager to please and does best with positive reinforcement. Lexus enjoys shopping and getting her hair and nails done, but she also can one day see herself living in the country in a home with animals and pets. She is very outgoing, creative, and loves projects. Lexus would love the chance to take horseback riding lessons and potentially work in a stable while she is in high school.

With a natural yearning to see the world, Lexus dreams of one day seeing the volcanoes in Italy and Hawaii, or traveling to France to catch a view of Paris high atop the Eiffel Tower.

Perez believes Lexus would thrive in a two parent household with a lot of patience, nurturing and love.  Lexus isn't asking for much.  She'd love at least one parent, a roof over her head, clothes on her back, and a school to attend.
