Eclasia It doesn't take long to realize Eclasia is a special young lady. The "E" in Eclasia's name should stand for enthusiasm, as she possesses so much of it! "Clay" (as she likes to be called) is a warm, engaging and intelligent teenager who was born in 1991. She will gladly tell you about all the things in life that she enjoys - everything from eating, singing, and dancing to reading, talking on the phone with friends and 'surfing the web'. In fact, there are very few things that Eclasia does not enjoy! Well, there is math... a subject she would prefer avoiding entirely but knows doing so is not an option. English is definitely her favorite school subject and she prides herself on her academic achievements in this area. 
Tawanesha is a traveler at heart, just waiting for wings to begin an adventure. How about a trip to Belize? Just give our fashion forward friend a few minutes to pack her favorite clothes (sure to include some pink). Equally open to new faces, places, or learning a skill, this enthusiastic 15-years-old explorer has no trouble finding captivating opportunities without leaving the ground.
Tawanesha ranks the school subjects of science and art as the most stimulating and engaging, but also has a passion for writing and a hankering to try her hand at journalism. Blessed with the athletic grace of the natural, if you're speedy you might catch up with this quick runner racing around a track or going long for the pass in a pick-up game of football. In her free time she tunes her radio to rap and hip-hop or might be found sketching or practicing her crotchet. Tawanesha's heart melts for furry friends and one day she would like to combine her affinity with animals and her interest in science as a veterinarian, nursing sick animals back to health.
