Waiting Child: Nick

CHARLOTTE N.C.- This week’s Waiting Child loves cars and sports. Β He cheers for the Panthers and also looks up to one major athlete who lives in Charlotte.
Nick is thirteen years old and going to the 8th grade. Β He says he can’t wait to join the automotive club at his school. Β When he gets older he wants to work on cars, “I’m going to do mechanics on cars and change the brakes and stuff like that.” Β His all time favorite car is a 1969 Dodge Charger. Β He says his first car will be a little newer and of course cheaper, “Well I’m not sure what my budget is going to be but I’m probably going to save up for a mustang or a dodge charger.”
Nick’s also a huge sports fan. Β He cheers for the Carolina Panthers and the Chicago Bulls. Β He’s a huge fan of Mike Jordan ans says he would scream if he ever met him.
Nick has a bright future ahead of him. Β He really wants to share it with a family, “I haven’t seen my mom in 8 years and I want to have that bond.” Β He dreams of a family who will take the time to teach him, care for him and give love, “If you have a family then you can live with them and not have to worry about them sending you away until you’re eighteen.”
