Andrew is an amazing teenager who loves music, school, and working hard. He entered foster care with his younger brother and has lived in different homes before finding a supportive pre-adoptive placement. As a barista, he enjoys learning about coffee flavors and working with his team. Andrew dreams of pursuing a career in the biomed or biotech industry and is considering graduate studies in entomology as he applies to various universities. While he has been a great caretaker for his brother, he is now enjoying the chance to explore his interests and be a kid in a nurturing environment.

Andrew is thrilled to be starting at his new school next week! He's already made a few friends and can't wait to become part of the community. One thing he really wants is a hooded sweatshirt featuring his new school name and logo. He believes it will help him blend in as he settles into his final year of high school. More than anything, he hopes to be just a normal teenager!s to be just a normal teenager!
