Addie makes the most out of her life’s opportunities by working hard to take on new challenges every day. In her free time, Addie participates in Girl Scouts, plays soccer, cheers, and loves to travel and experience new places with her family. In fact, she recently visited the beach for the very first time and loved the feeling of the water on her toes! Addie also loves learning new things in school, watching Disney movies with her mom, hugs from her little brother, and feeling her puppies’ soft fur.
