Deja is a delightful young lady, fun to be around, smart and responsible. A well-rounded teen with a variety of goals, likes and interests, she likes working with animals. Her goal is to be a veterinarian. Deja also is writing a book about friendship and would like to make a movie someday. She wants to see the ocean or visit an aquarium with dolphins, her favorite animal.  

Given her love of animals, it’s not surprising she likes to watch Animal Planet.  Deja also enjoys watching the Lifetime movie network, National Geographic and the Discovery Channel.  Her favorite movies are Pirates of the Caribbean 1, 2 and 3. She likes going to the mall, seeing the latest movie, and listening to R&B and gospel music. 

Indoors or out, there are activities Deja enjoys. She likes watching funny movies, playing board games, girl talk with friends and reading fiction books. Outdoors, she favors jumping double-dutch or more adventurous activities like camping, kayaking and canoeing. In addition, she enjoys going to Bible study and to her local community center. 

Deja likes school and earns good grades. Science is her favorite class. The experiments are her favorite part. She struggles some with math.  After school she likes to be involved with her school’s science club, do homework and read. She’s not really into sports but would enjoy playing them recreationally.   

An active, supportive and nurturing adoptive family, where Deja would continue to thrive and work toward her goals, would be great for her. It is Deja’s hope that her adoptive family would have older children so that she would have siblings.
