This youth is a born athlete! He has spent many of his nights at various athletic practices and finds an outlet in being part of a team. When football is not in season, he is all about basketball!

Although he is soft-spoken when you first meet him, you will soon see this young teen’s silly side. He likes to joke around and is a playful sibling. He and his sister are often engaged in friendly competition. They are both athletic and like to outscore each other in any sport.

Described as a laid-back kind of guy, this young man has many skills outside of the world of sports, with interests in building things with his hands, including small projects including a cat tower and a shoe stand. He follows directions meticulously, and when putting together Legos, if he finds out he missed a piece along the way he will take it all apart to make sure he gets it right.

Skills in the kitchen are also notable, as you may be treated to several home-cooked meals including pasta, mac and cheese, bacon and eggs, omelets, or even a fresh-baked cake!

Learning new life skills and the opportunity to explore the world are important aspirations. One of his favorite classes at school was called ‘Inquiring Minds’. This civil-minded kiddo says that this class focused on global goals such as ending hunger, poverty, equality, and supplying clean water to all. He shared in detail many of his ideas on how we could all help to achieve these goals and more.

Are you looking for an amazing youth who is charming, gets along well with others? You may be looking in the right place. He does well in school when he is motivated and applies himself. He is a smart kid who needs a parent(s) who will energize him and encourage him to take his ideas to the next step.

He is looking for a family who will support his love for football, and basketball, cheer him on and help motivate him to continue to work hard for his future. He may be unsure of what that future is at this point but knows he can achieve any goal with the consistent care, love, and stability of a safe and loving family.

It is important that continued contact with his older sister and younger brother can be maintained.
