He really loves learning, especially about math and business, and wants to be an accountant someday so he can help people manage their money well. In his free time, Jayden enjoys reading all kinds of books, from exciting fantasy stories to the inspiring lives of successful entrepreneurs. He admires people who have overcome challenges, just like he has. When he’s not reading, he likes to team up with friends to run small "businesses," like a lemonade stand or helping neighbors with chores to earn a little extra cash. Jayden is responsible, respectful, and always ready to help others. He has a calm and thoughtful personality and takes his studies seriously. His foster parents say he brightens up any room with his curiosity and determination.

Jayden is a bright and motivated young man with a strong interest in finance, particularly taxes and investing. He spends his free time reading and learning about how money works and how to grow it responsibly. The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham is considered one of the best books ever written on value investing, and Jayden wants to dive into it. It will help him deepen his understanding of long-term financial strategies and continue building his knowledge in a field he’s truly passionate about. Granting this wish will encourage his curiosity and help him on his path toward financial literacy and independence.
