Sharice is an engaging 16-year-old who may be quiet at first, but she quickly warms up to people and likes to be very social. At times Sharice struggles to relate to peers. She seems to prefer adult interactions but is always craving peer relationships and acceptance. Sharice loves to cook — she makes delicious fried chicken. She loves to shop — she is a very speedy and thrifty shopper. She also enjoys playing board games, computer games and watching reality TV shows. Sharice also loves to get her hair and nails done, wear heels and she is a sharp dresser. Sharice likes to be neat and organized with her belongings; cleaning is one of her coping skills. Sharice used to do cheerleading and would like to join cheer and/or dance line soon. When she becomes an adult, Sharice would like be a teacher and live in Seattle.
