Meet 13-year-old Adam. When first meeting him, he can be a bit shy, but once he gets to know someone, he becomes comfortable in expressing his personality and loves to make others laugh.
Adam enjoys playing with Hot Wheels and building Lego sets. Some of his other favorites include dinosaurs and collecting McDonald’s Happy Meal toys.
If he could eat one food every day, he would choose a McDonald’s Happy Meal with a cheeseburger and French fries—along with an extra cheeseburger on the side.
In his free time, he enjoys listening to music and singing, as well as going on car rides where he can look at all the cars and buildings around him. He really likes basketball as it is one of his favorite activities to play outside.
One of his dreams is to see a professional basketball game in person someday. Adam loves helping others and showing how strong he is—whether it is carrying things or accompanying someone on errands.
For his future, Adam says when he grows up, he wants to be a police officer so he can help protect the people he loves.
In his own words – “Hi, I am Adam and I love smiling and making others laugh! I hope to be a police officer one day to protect those I love and care for.”
