Wednesday's Child: Jesenia
By Larry Kane
Produced by Timothy McLaughlin
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Jesenia may seem mild-mannered at first, but this ten-year-old girl is a bundle of energy.
"I'm a gymnast and a cheerleader," she says. "On bars, I swing on them and I have to land on them and balance on them, and then I do a front-flip off of them, and they're really high. I do cartwheels on the balance beam."
It's enough to give anyone else vertigo, but she is fearless.
"It's scary at first but you'll get used to it," she advises with a smile.
And Jesenia would love a family that shares her sense of adventure.
"Like, go to amusement parks. I would like to have my family and I hang out together, like go out. Not all the time, but just be energetic -- not always just sitting in front of a TV," she says.
