Cali lost her lively spirit and confidence in herself 💔🌪️. She has not had an easy childhood 😞. She was moved around a lot 🚚📦 and switched schools multiple times 🏫➡️🏫, which made her an easy target for bullying 😔🗣️.
Cali has been bullied multiple times 💔. She has been pushed, scratched, called names, excluded, etc. 😢🛑. She has had to change classes 🏫, seats on the bus 🚌, and has stopped hanging out with neighborhood kids 🏘️💔. A group of her former friends would call her names every chance they got 🗣️➡️😔.

Cali was afraid to try new things 🆕😟, talk to new people 🗣️😰, or even order her own food 🍔❌.

One of my favorite things about Cali is that she always wants to hear stories 📖✨. At every photoshoot 📸, she would ask me to tell her stories about my life 🏞️💬 and even about who my celebrity crush is.

📣 What Cali’s Mom had to say about the experience:
“Since joining the Fearless Spirit group ✨👭, she has grown into a beautiful young teenager 🌸💖. She has more confidence in herself 🌟💪 and is a much happier person 😊🌈.
She is still working on some of her insecurities, such as not being afraid to do things by herself 🦋🚶‍♀️. She has enjoyed being part of this year’s crew 📸✨, and I hope the confidence and lessons she has learned will stick with her for the rest of her life 🌟📖.
She is a beautiful person inside and out 💖✨, and I love seeing her grow 🌱🌸.”

📣 What Cali had to say about the experience:
Cali enjoyed how fun the model crew was 🎉📸. The Fearless Spirit experience really boosted her confidence 🌟💪.

Before, she had problems talking to people because it was scary 😟➡️🗣️, but now, even though she is still a bit nervous 😬, she can talk to people without overthinking it 🌈✨.
Cali said she will miss Casey the most ❤️👩‍🏫.
