Angel: My Son In The Wizard Of Oz

Decent Essays
I could say that my son has an outgoing personality. Angel can be a great strategist and have a plan for the things that interest him. He always wants to learn new things, his thirst for knowledge is insatiable; he loves reading all kinds of books, I remember that the first book he read completely was "The Wizard of Oz" in second grade. Angel is a bold leader and I think he could polish his leadership with a better education. Angel's intelligence goes beyond a single subject or class, is curious and likes challenges. Angel is a sociable and friendly guy, although sometimes it is hard for him to make friends, even so he always finds the good side of things. In and out of the house he is a charismatic boy who can captivate and inspire people.
