Selena is described as resilient, strong, social, and self-aware. Selena is caring and aspires to attend college and become a nurse so that she can help people. Some favorite activities are cooking, baking, swimming, listening to K-pop music, and reading. The ideal day for Selena would include shopping for shoes and going out to eat pasta or sushi. Selena is open to all dynamics of families as long as they are committed, understanding, supportive, involved in her life, and most importantly love spending time together. An added bonus would be if they had pets, especially a dog.
