Notes on Christian:

Once in a taxi, he was almost molested because the offender thought he was a girl. At the bank, they usually mistake him for a child.Way back in school, he was always the odd guy.

‘Forever be a boy’ could be Christian’s tag line for life.A 25-year-old man inside a teenage boy’s body, he has received more insults in his life than anyone deserves.For those who have taken time to learn about his condition, it’s easy to understand that it’s the result of growth hormone deficiency, a syndrome that has afflicted him since birth.

Despite – and perhaps because of – his condition and everything he has gone through, Christian remains strong, his conviction held fast, and his view of the world and of himself still cheerful. “I know I’m beautiful inside and out, and I know bad words can’t let me down.”

It helps that he has a dream, and holds on to it, and he knows that the Academy will get him there, one way or another.
