Bio
Like so many of the Heart Gallery children, Demetrius has spent most of his life in foster care, and doesn’t reveal himself easily.
He sometimes experiences feelings of loss and abandonment. He even uses words like as “irritable” and “picky” when asked to describe himself, but also throws in “nice” and “great self-esteem,” and it’s those qualities that begin to shine through as you spend more time with him.
Demetrius is a bright student, and is academically on target. A strikingly handsome boy, Demetrius says his favorite animal is the dog, and he would like a career working with animals when he is grown up.
School is a mixed bag – if he’s in a good mood, he likes it. If he hasn’t gotten enough sleep, it can be another story.
“I still get cranky easily,” he says.
He likes science “sometimes,” but he really likes language arts, and he says he loves to read.
“I’m interested in ‘Pocahontas,’ action books, anything I can get my hands on,” Demetrius says. “I love reading.”
He likes watching cartoon network and Animal Planet on TV, and his favorite singer is Beyonce.
