Bella from Pennsylvania

?Hi, I'm Bella! People describe me as helpful, determined, mature for my age, and creative. I also love animals of all kinds, especially horses. I don't know what career is ahead of me; I'm still young, but maybe a job with animals would be something I'd do for the rest of my life. I still have a lot of opportunities open to me! ?My interests vary a lot. My favorite thing is playing winter sports, so I hope my forever family likes the cold weather and the snow. I haven't skied or snowboarded, but I'd like to learn. I love being outdoors! I like playing basketball and baseball and going for walks. A favorite indoor thing is playing board games, and any hands-on activities are fun too. I've attended summer camps and participated in church youth groups. I want to try gymnastics in the future. My favorite food is mac and cheese, and my favorite candy is cow tails. Please don't try to feed me onions. Ugh! My favorite color is red. ?School is good, and a former teacher said I was ?helpful? and kept ?on task.? I might be too young to think of school as being as fun as being with horses. If my forever family had horses or animals, that would be a big plus (did I mention I love horses?)!? Parental rights have not been terminated for Bella, however when a permanent resource is identified, the county will enact final steps to terminate parental rights.
