Kevin



When I think of Kevin, it brings a smile to me. He is good-natured, energetic, funny and a hard worker. 


His name is Kevin Antonio Sanchez Rodriguez and he is 15 years old.  He lives with his grandmother and father; the oldest child with 7 siblings.  They do not all live together.  


He is the only person in our morning session (that we currently know about) that is able to speak very limited English.  He is studying English in school and one day would like to become a translator.  In the mean time, he knows that learning carpentry is good in order to have another way to work and earn money.  
Kevin describes himself as happy, restless (we need more clarification on that one), friendly, likes to study, likes to work and as a typical  teenager--likes to go out.  

Do not let his appearance fool you, as clean cut as he is, he is extremely poor.  He wears the same shirt to school almost every day, freshly laundered and pressed.  In this culture, he may launder and iron his shirt himself.   
As I mentioned in an earlier post, boys are obsessed about their hair.  The picture of Kevin with a hat makes me wonder if he was having a bad hair day.
