Thirteen-year-old Aniya is a quiet and thoughtful young woman. She’s a storyteller at heart, spending a lot of time creating and writing stories, even adding hand-drawn art to each page. Her prior foster parent noted “our finest moments together occurred when we could be playful together and really use our imagination!” Aniya loves to color, draw, and make her own art creations.
Those who know Aniya would say that her strongest trait is her willingness to help others and be helpful around the home. She even helped her foster family move from one home to another by packing, carrying, and unpacking boxes. One of Aniya’s favorite chores is to assist with the animals in the home, and she hopes that her future family will have pets. While she says she’s more of a cat person, she currently enjoys feeding, walking, and playing with the dog in her home.
Aniya is intelligent. While she doesn’t have a favorite subject in school, she enjoys PE. She’s good at soccer and interested in volleyball. Aniya is growing in her independence and self-worth and believes in advocating for others.
Meet Aniya and see her creativity shine on KSDK 5 On Your Side’s “A Place to Call Home.”
