When I first met Alexus, she seemed like she would be shy and more introverted than extroverted. She is small in stature and somewhat meek looking. She is tiny, weighing about 85 pounds. She comes up to my waist. As I sized her up, I expected this child to be reflect her appearance. I figured she would let her size dictate her personality. Boy, was I wrong.
The thing about Alexus is that she knows all. She's got a grip on everything that goes down in the sixth grade at Hand. She can tell me the history of any girl, point out the trouble makers of the school, and identify the nobodies of the school. Walking through the hallways on our tour of the school, at least 6 different people called out her name. It's easy to see she's Miss Popular.
Upon talking to her though, I've identified that she does have some needs. She just gained a new addition to her family, a little sister who's now 2 months old. It seems she's having some trouble dealing with no longer being the only girl in her family. But other than that, she seems somewhat happy with her life.
She is somewhat involved at Hand. She's involved in Chorus at school. She seems to enjoy Chorus. She took me to see her Chorus teacher because she really enjoys the class. I think she was excited to show me off to her class and teacher because it was something she was proud of.
As for resources, I think I'm okay for the time being.
