Jesus is a soft spoken, kind, and active teen. He enjoys spending time with both his friends and adults and getting to know who people really are.

Like many boys his age, Jesus likes video games, watching TV, and playing sports – especially basketball and football. He isn’t too fond of playing structured games, but he likes to get together with friends and play for fun. His other top hobbies include fishing, playing at the park, and going for hikes.

Jesus is looking for an active family that shares similar interests. He would like to have brothers if possible but says the most important thing is to have a family that likes to spend time together. Jesus hopes to stay in Mesa where he is near his friends and can stay in his current school.
