Wednesday's Child: 14-year-old Fabian

(MARE) - Efrain, who prefers to go by his middle name "Fabian," is a charming, energetic, and polite 14-year-old boy. He takes great pride in his appearance and never turns down the opportunity to wear a tie. 

Fabian can be slow to warm up, but once he does, he's quite talkative. He loves to crack jokes and seeks out physical affection from the adults in his life. He likes to go to the gym every morning before school and is very disciplined in maintaining a healthy and balanced diet. 

He is particularly interested in martial arts, boxing, and weightlifting. While exercising, he enjoys listening to rap, hip hop, and heavy metal.

Fabian hopes to one day pursue a career in information technology or become an electrician.
