He is very helpful in his current placement and volunteers to help others when he can. He has a witty sense of humor and good social skills. He gets along well with his peers and likes to see others happy. He is very athletic and enjoys working out. He wants to do strength training or athletic training someday. He prefers eating healthy foods, unless it is cereal, especially Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

He would like to live in a home that has pets or is open to the idea of pets. He would do best in a home that has very clear boundaries and expectations for him but will also allow him to build trust and have the freedoms that a typical child his age would have.
