Jose Carlos!

Jose Carlos, brother of Antony, is probably the brightest boy at DOVE. His attendance at school and club is great and he’s so well behaved. He’s very quiet and will rarely be the conversation starter, but what a change on the basketball field where his skills gain him respect and friends. He really wants to learn English, and is already capable of translating full paragraphs from Spanish to English or English to Spanish. Even his conversational skills have improved so much since I first met him; he’s able to understand simple English phrases and respond in full sentences. Not to mention he’s also a talented drawer and, though he won’t admit it, poet (I’ve see his secret notebook). When he grows up, he wants to be a chef.
