KALISPELL – This month’s A Waiting Child is 14-year-old Jacob from Kalispell.
Jacob said he is a hands-on learner and loves computer science. He hopes to be an engineer when he grows up.
While he’s only in eighth grade, Jacob said he’ll go to any college in the country with a good computer science program.
Outside of school, he loves to mountain bike and bake.
Jacob also has a passion for the Baptist church, and he said his faith is what helps him through difficult times.
“It just helps me, it keeps me in line and keeps me doing what I’m supposed to and realizing that there is somebody out there for me,” Jacob said.
He’s also an animal lover who adores cats.
Jacob said he hopes for a family who will accept and not judge him for his rough past.
