This child is a complete sweet soul. He is excelling in school, plays volleyball, and finds time for boxing at Gladiator Gym in Bayville. With all of this on his plate, he still finds time to work. He was one of three boys who ran into a local burning building and saved people trapped inside. He is an amazing young man and deserves the recognition.

Incredible, honest, very compassionate.
