This is Jesse, an amazing teen who is looking forward to finding a Forever Family to share his life with! Jesse is a charismatic, outgoing young man who loves staying active and playing sports. He’s a very talented basketball player who can shoot a mean 3-pointer and is really excited about settling into his new home so that he can join the high school basketball team. Jesse is a little old-school when it comes to his favorite basketball player! He reports that it’s Larry Bird and that he has so much admiration for the Boston Celtics in general because they’re the only team in history to have won 18 NBA championships!
When he’s not on the court, Jesse enjoys working out; fishing; boxing; listening to music; reading Rick Riordan books; cooking and drawing pictures of his dream car-a 1965 Chevy Impala. In the same way that he tries to stay active and take care of his body, Jesse takes pride in himself and loves to dress his best! He feels confidant when his hair looks great and he’s dressed well, with his current favorite clothing being anything that’s Dickies brand.
Jesse is a smart and well-spoken teen who does well in school and reports that he currently has a perfect grade in Math class! His philosophy about life is that good things come to people who work hard, strive to be the best, and keep a positive mindset. He has big plans to join the Marine Corps after high school and is excited to serve his country while also hopefully getting the opportunity to see other parts of the world. Jesse is both Hispanic and Native American and is a registered tribal member. A family who shares his ethnicity would be an amazing fit for him, however he’s also open to families who don’t, as long as they can continue to support and help him stay connected to his cultural identity. Jesse needs a family who is open to helping him continue to maintain a few important connections that he’s developed over the years.
Jesse’s Permanency Team describes the best fit for him as a two-parent home where he might be the only, or the oldest, child in the home. A hands-on Dad would be a wonderful fit for him! He is sure to thrive in the care of someone who will spend time with him; cheer him on in his activities; hold him accountable when he needs it; and help guide and support him into achieving the successful life he wants for himself. Jesse would ideally like to stay in the Treasure Valley area however he and his team are also open to hearing from families residing out of the area who feel that they possess the qualities they’re searching for. Every day in foster care is one too many and this deserving teen is ready to move forward in his life. We encourage you to take the next step and inquire about Jesse today to find out whether he may be just the right fit for your family!
