Jack is a thoughtful, introverted teen who warms up beautifully once he feels comfortable. At 15, he’ s the kind of youth who reveals more of his personality the longer you spend with him. Music is one of his biggest outlets. He loves listening to a mix of genres, especially Spanish music, and he writes his own songs during his downtime. Jack dreams of becoming either a rapper or a motivational speaker one day. Academically, Jack shines. He’ s a 10th-grader earning solid A’ s and B’ s, with math and science as his favorite subjects. When he’ s not in school or working on music, you can find him cooking or baking, playing Fortnite, shooting hoops, cheering on the Philadelphia 76ers, or going for long walks, a simple pleasure he genuinely enjoys. Jack is open to a variety of family structures and would like pets. Above all, Jack hopes for what every young person deserves: a loving forever family, and maybe a Nintendo Switch 2 to go with it.
