Sam misses so much school because of his medical needs that he enjoys the time he has at school learning and being with his peers.
Favorite Subject & Why
Science is Sam’s favorite subject. He loves learning new information and especially doing new science experiments. His brother has been teaching him all about geology recently and they love to go rock hounding looking for new rocks to learn about and add to their collection. As well every time we are in Boston for medical appointments and procedures the science museum and the natural history museum are his favorite places to go and see what new information and challenges they have.
