Iacob (13)
Iacob’s family consists of two members: him and his father. He is a special child, maybe you could call him a star child because he has a world of his own. He likes to discover the wonderful world of history, flora and fauna.
Because Iacob is dealing with Diabetes, he has to follow a very strict diet, in which he is proving himself to be very independent and responsible. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the possibility to go in for sports or other extracurricular activities because his regime limits him strictly. He studies and reads a lot, likes new experiences and discoveries. He is in very good relations with his classmates. Iacob loves school because it is an interesting and pleasant place for him.
