Last year I joined the USF Recreation Center with Dana, Traci and Rafia. We did exercise.

I’ve been part of Best Buddies for 2 years. Last year my Best Buddy was Rafia. This year I have Emily. We have lunch together and she comes to my house. I also go to her house.

I still would like to work as a sales clerk anywhere.

I like to go to the Marshall Center and to the Library. I play games at the game room in the Marshall Center and at the Library. I like to play on the computer.

From the parents:  The STAGES program provided, rich and exciting environment, where Rima could explore, experience life, learn and develop into a confident independent lady.  Rima will miss the whole STAGES experience because she was part of a friendly, considerate and understanding family.
