Sam from Pennsylvania

Sam loves video games and the board game Monopoly. He is an avid reader and enjoys reading about the solar system. In fact, he has a solar system encyclopedia that he reads all the time and he loves to share facts about space with people he meets. He enjoys collecting Pokemon cards and is always eager to trade them with his friends. He is quite knowledgeable of all of the Pokemon characters and loves to talk about his favorites. So any family would win Sam over if they just ask him about his interest in space or Pokemon, as he will be talking for hours. He is very polite with the adults that he meets, so of course, he would give you the opportunity to talk as well. Sam also especially likes listening to rap music. He enjoys playing outside, taking nature walks, and riding his bike around the streets of his neighborhood. Sam is a big basketball fan and loves watching it on television as well as playing it recreationally. He is not on an organized basketball team but would love the opportunity to do this someday. Sam likes watching videos and movies. His favorite food is pizza and his favorite candy bar is a Kit Kat. Parental rights have not been terminated for Sam.
