What was your favorite trip you went on with Arch Street?

My favorite trip was when we went to Lake Tobias. I got to see a real-life kangaroo and a Joey! I also enjoy going to Pottery Works and making things for my family members. I recently made my own cat dish to put my jewelry in. Bowling is another activity that I enjoy and I’m quite good at it!

What is your favorite holiday?
My favorite holiday is Christmas. I enjoy stuffing the stockings full of gifts for my daughters.

What is one word you would use to describe Arch Street.
I would use the word family.

If you could go on vacation anywhere, where would you go?
Australia. I would love to see the kangaroos, koalas, and the Great Barrier Reef.

What does Arch Street Center mean to you?
Arch Street is a place where I am an individual and I’m not just my mental illness. I’m accepted and I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. I can be myself fully and I can try new things with different people.

What is your favorite animal?
My favorite animal is a cat. I would like to adopt one in the future!
