He enjoys participating in arts and crafts, playing sports, and being a member of the school band. These activities provide positive outlets for self-expression, creativity, teamwork, and skill development. King values his relationships with his family and takes great pride in his role as a big brother to his younger siblings. His connection to his family serves as a meaningful source of motivation and support. 

King has developed positive relationships with both peers and staff at school and has expressed that he is able to make friends easily, highlighting his strong social skills and ability to connect with others. King demonstrates many strengths, despite experiencing challenges with emotional regulation. Although he may struggle with managing his emotions on a day-to-day basis, he is responsive to support and is able to follow through with directives and complete assigned tasks when provided with clear expectations and guidance.

Despite the adversity he has experienced, King continues to maintain a playful and positive attitude. He consistently demonstrates kindness by offering help to others whenever possible, reflecting his caring nature and resilience. Building upon these strengths will continue to support King's emotional growth, self-confidence, and overall success.
