Aims- Our daughter Nia since she was 5 years old has wanted to be a doctor, so she could help others. She has stayed the course and to this day has that as her vision. As parents, we believe she will be a doctor and will be the best doctor. This is her vision not ours, and we are proud of that fact.
Strengths – her strengths are her character. Nia has a unique ability to be able to communicate, socialize, and relate with all types of people. She has many different types of friends and has always had many friends from all walks of life. Nia always tries to add value to her friends and bring them up from wherever they are at. She is a leader.
Weaknesses – Nia’s weakness comes from her strength of being so involved in things and having so many friends, she is busy and thus often times her time management and organizational skills are not what they should be.
Values – Nia loves life and loves people, and she has a giant heart.
We are proudest of Nia because of the young woman she has become. She stands up for what she believes and she has a back bone. Nia does not go with the crowd, she is a true leader. Our daughter will do great things, and we are excited for all the fortunate people who will get to experience knowing our daughter.
Academics-
When you look at Nia’s academics, it must be looked at in light of the fact that she is involved and she does many things.

Anecdotes
Nia will always point out an elderly couple who are walking hand and hand and say how cute they are. Nia will go out of her way to say “hi” to a handicap person. You can be walking in the mall with Nia and she will run up and say come here quick I need you to see something (your thinking a dress or something), only to have her bring you to a handicap person or an elderly person that she is having a conversation with. She wants you to meet the person and get involved in the conversation. Nia does not get intimidated or nervous because someone is different, she has a giant heart.
