Wednesday's Child: Dahsiyoni
By Larry Kane
Produced by Timothy McLaughlin
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- "I'm smart, I'm funny, I'm shy," is how 13-year-old Dahsiyoni describes herself.
In a recent conversation with Gloria Hochman of the Philadelphia-based National Adoption Center, Dahsiyoni said she wants to be a writer.
"I like to write stories and stuff," she said. "I read mystery books -- I like to read the Nancy Drew series."
(Gloria Hochman:) "Wow, when I was growing up I wanted to be Nancy Drew. What do you think you might want to be when you grow up?"
(Dahsiyoni:) "An author."
This budding artist might even have a career in fashion. But first, she says, she wants a forever family who can help her reach her goals.
