Gregory is very intelligent and loves sports. His favorite sports are football & basketball. He participated in junior ROTC and says that he'd like to serve his country at a later date. He is not sure of what branch yet though.

Gregory will be absolutely thrilled with his brand-new pair of shoes. As the oldest of six siblings, he is accustomed to stepping back and letting his younger brothers and sisters go first; therefore, receiving something chosen just for him will feel unforgettable. He will light up the moment he slips into the perfect pair, feeling a little taller because they boost his confidence and make him feel seen. As he walks around in them, the smile he tries to hide will light up his entire face, and hearing his younger siblings hype him up and tell him how cool the shoes look will only increase his excitement. When he thinks about wearing them to school, he will feel proud, appreciated, and ready to show the world his fresh new step. These shoes won’t just be ordinary footwear to him; they will serve as a reminder that he deserves good things too.
