Bio

Kezia is a creative person who loves to draw people, but she's still having a little trouble rendering noses.

"I could draw animals for hours," she says. "I could draw people. I'm not so good with the noses, but I could get your smile and your eyes."

She became interested in art when she looked at clothing decorated with graffiti and thought she could do that.

But before she plunges into the art world, Keziah would like to be a cosmetologist, or hopes to go to college and play on her school’s basketball team.

"Ever since I was young, like when I used to play with my Barbies, I would just do their hair all crazy and stuff," she says. "I felt like I could be very creative if I become a hair stylist."

Keziah also likes to exercise her left brain. Math is her favorite subject because it comes easily to her.

"It just seemed like the quickest thing I could do," Keziah says. "I'm good with numbers. Math just must be in my genes."

No matter what happens, Keziah draws upon her innate confidence.

"Confidence - I don't know where I got that from. It's just a thing. It might be in my genes too," she says.

Her friends would probably describe her as funny, talkative, loud and silly. Keziah also has an infectious laugh. And she is caring, too.

If she had three wishes, Keziah's requests are to get adopted, have all the soldiers in Iraq come back and see their family, and for her last wish, she would ask for three more wishes.

As you can see, Keziah is a smart girl.
