Romeo loves science, adventure and learning

PHOENIX (AZFamily) —Romeo has lots of ideas, but he said he needs a bit more time to decide what he wants to do when he grows up.

“I don’t know, actually. That’s been a mystery,” the 11-year-old said with a smile.

When Arizona’s Family spoke with him, Romeo was donning a lab coat at the Arizona Science Center. He got a private tour of the place, which is right up his alley.

Romeo said the best part of the science center os that you get to be creative, hands-on and active. This curious kid likes science and computers and said he might grow up to be an inventor one day.

While talking about future inventions, like robots to help around the house, Romeo explained exactly how one of his inventions would work.

“So you’re going to have to press the button, and then after you turn the button on, the robot, whatever you tell it to do,” he said.

Romeo is active, caring and has a great sense of humor. Any family would be lucky to have him, said Josie Gaieck with AASK.

“Every day is a new adventure with him, and he’s really excited to meet a family that is going to provide that stimulus that he needs to keep him entertained, keep him happy and keep him going,” she said.

Romeo said he is not too picky when it comes to families. Siblings and pets are all good with him.

“It doesn’t matter if I have siblings,” he said. “Well, actually, I’m good with a house alone with a dog. I just want maybe two siblings in a family like that.”

Romeo has big dreams and a big heart, and he has no problem telling the world what kind of kid he is: caring, likable and loveable.
