About Sa'Mye
If you’re going for the touchdown and it’s fourth and inches to go, then Sa’Mye is your go-to guy to carry the football. Let him explain why: “I am good at football, and I never give up.” Sa’Mye is good at other sports such as basketball, but he focuses his athleticism on football and wants to join a team. In fact, he’d like to use his skills to become a professional football player. Should his gridiron goals not pan out, Sa'Mye has a back up plan to pursue a career in finance. In the meantime, this goal-oriented teen loves hanging out with his friends, his girlfriend, and family. He dreams of traveling to Las Vegas and Chicago just to see what those cities are like. We guess he would check out the Vegas buffets and the restaurants on Chicago's Magnificent Mile because he has a list of some delicious foods he loves; steak, ribs, and crab legs for the main dishes and anything chocolate for dessert! Travel isn't the only adventure on Sa'Mye's wish list. He would love to have anything with wheels to help satisfy his need for speed. Specifically, he hopes to one day have a dirt bike, a quad, and a mini bike. Suffice it to say this is a kid who's going places!
“Sa'Mye is a fascinating child,” says one of his close adults. “He has so much potential for growth and if given an extended opportunity to show it, he will grow and mature quickly. Sa'Mye wants to help people. He enjoys helping others like getting groceries unloaded for random customers at the store. Sa’Mye is protective of the people he loves and who are important to him.” People who know him well talk about his tremendous capacity for empathy and how he sticks up for others when they need some support. "I care about others," says Sa'Mye.
Sa’Mye would do best with a mom and dad or two dads who are experienced and trauma informed. Single parents with a strong support system would also be considered. Sa’Mye’s new parents must make sure he receives any support services that will benefit him. His future family must be patient as he adjusts and be willing to engage in activities he enjoys in order to help build a strong bond with Sa'Mye. In addition, Sa'Mye has important relationships with birth family members that must be supported and maintained. It would beneficial for at least one of Sa'Mye's future parents to have a lot of job flexibility or be a stay at home parent in order to be there for Sa'Mye when needed. While his team this Sa'Mye could do well with siblings in the right family, Sa'Mye has stated a preference for being the youngest.
