“ I wished to feed the dolphins at SeaWorld ”
Q: Why did you choose this wish?
A: I’ve always loved animals. One of my favorite trips is to go to the local zoo. Dolphin’s are my favorite animal – and I knew that SeaWorld was the perfect place to watch them perform.
Josephine's wish took her to SeaWorld in San Diego, CA where she was able to pet and even help train the dolphins.
Q: What was one of your favorite memories from the wish?
A: I was able to act as the trainer, and I gave the dolphin hand signals that made the dolphin perform a flip in the air.
Q: What's your medical diagnosis now?
A: I have been in remission for about two years, and I am feeling great!
Q: What are some of the highlights of your life now?
A: I have fun playing with my friends from school and my sister, Nikki. We like listening to music and dancing around. Also, I’m reading the longest Harry Potter book – 870 pages long!
Josephine has been in remission for 2 years! She now spends her free time listening to music and dancing with her friends & her sister, Nikki.
