David from Pennsylvania

?Hi, everybody, I'm David. I thought I'd describe a typical day for me so you'd get to know me. First of all, I'm mostly easygoing. I don't necessarily eat breakfast, and I get off to school on time. School's okay. I have some friends there, and I do alright with the work, but my career interest is underwater welding. I'm thinking about doing it for the Army. Mechanical ability runs in my family. I already know a lot about engines and vehicle bodywork. I'm planning on driving a (used) Jaguar in the future. My permanent family could teach me to drive! A relative of mine has the car waiting for me! I can't wait to make it mine! Anyway, after school I might have a snack, play a little basketball (it's my favorite sport), and maybe take a walk with a close friend. I always have a lot of energy to work out. I keep slim because of it. It never seems I could eat enough, even things like pizza, and ice cream, and tacos! I love them all! Banana splits go down really easily! I'll watch social media videos for a while in the night (there's always a lot of funny stuff on there; it keeps me laughing), maybe talk on the phone with a good friend, and then think about my look for the next school day. I like to look good with awesome sneakers and a cool hoodie. It's like that old saying, ?clothes make the man.? The kids at school know I take what I wear seriously; they respect me for it. One thing I don't have right now is a dog, the bigger, the better. I know how to get along with all kinds of animals. (I'm not the biggest fan of cats, though.) I hope my forever family has a HUGE dog!? All families will be considered; however, a positive male role model would be an asset. David would especially like to be an only child, but would also be okay with having older siblings. David is very family oriented and appreciates the concept of a permanent family. He has spent time with everyone, infants to adults, and constantly helped them all with various daily activities. Parental rights have not been terminated for David; however, when a permanent resource is identified, the county will enact final steps to terminate parental rights. For more information, a family can call the SWAN Helpline at 1-800-585-SWAN or have the family worker contact the recruiter, Marian Kolcun, via telephone or email kolcunm@diakon.org.
