Ethan July 09
Posted by South Mountain Villager on July 8, 2009
With a very positive and motivating outlook on life, Ethan is always looking to the future and trying to make things better for others. Even with his video games, he likes to “save people” — so much so that when he grows up, he wants to be in a profession where he can help others.
One of the foundation’s that helps Ethan on a day-to-day basis is his faith. He looks forward to going to church and attending religious classes on a regular basis.
In his spare time, Ethan enjoys going to the movies and spending time with his friends. He also likes swimming, playing basketball, karate and reading books. Ethan would like to spend more time outdoors camping and hiking. His favorite vacation destination is Disneyland.
Currently in the 8th grade, Ethan’s favorite subjects are Math and Physical Education. He requires additional assistance and extra time to complete his homework assignments and will need a family that is willing to support him with his studies and to advocate for him within the school system.
Ethan’s case manager describes him as a polite, respectful, affectionate and loving young man. The ideal family for Ethan is a one- or two-parent family with plenty of time, love, and attention to share with this active boy. They should be supportive and eager to help him grow and learn socially, behaviorally and emotionally. Positive reinforcement, patience and consistency will be helpful tools for Ethan’s new parents. It is important that his new family is able to share in his interests and hobbies, celebrating his fun-loving and curious nature.
