Charles Howell

Adopted from Kyrgyzstan and born with a cleft palate, I've experienced a long journey of countless surgeries and procedures in order to bring me the quality of life I deserved. I have two older sister both adopted from China and my youngest sister has autism and a rare genetic disorder which required me as a person to advocate for her struggles and to ensure she gets the best life she can receive. I describe myself as an outspoken person who speaks out on personal issues I strongly believe in as I've participated in rallies which aligned with my beliefs, I am involved in my community as I volunteer for different organization with the goal to better help my community and experience different tasks and environments. Throughout my life I have thrived in working with younger children as I'm described as a person who enjoys having fun with teaching and working with younger children but at the same time is good at setting boundaries and creating a line of respect. I'm a creative person who loves listening to music as well as creating music as music has revolved my life since I was adopted. I am a highly active person who regularly gets out and takes walks, go on runs, and hike solo or with friends.
