A countdown towards Christmas is not the only thing on Vanessa Lahouds mind, her one Christmas wish is for every person to be happy “when I see other people happy, I can’t help but be happy for them”

Lahoud is a South Broward High School junior who prides herself on optimism and cheer, especially during the Christmas time.

“This year I went to a nursery home and gave out some stocking with treats in them” She says, “we also sang Christmas carols, hoping to give these people a little bit of holiday cheer”

Lahoud understands that not many people are happy during this time of year, especially during the trials and tribulations of the worldwide pandemic this season. Although she tries to consistently keep her friends and family happy, her one true desire is for the world to be happy.

“I try my best to make everyone around me happy, and although its impossible my one true wish is for the entire world to feel this way too”
