Sal

This is a special blog because it will focus on one of the many amazing children at the orphanage.  I chose this child because of how shy and quiet he is, just like me.  You will usually see him standing and watching the other kids playing, and occasionally join.  This child is Sal and he is incredible.
Sal is 6 years old and has four siblings, only one of them is at the orphanage.  His sister, Srey is 11 years old and loves to sing and dance.  The other two siblings whereabouts are unknown.  As for Sals parents well, his mom died of a heart attack about a year ago and the dad disappeared after her death. Sal does not miss his parents because he is very happy at the orphanage.
If I had to describe Sal with only one word , it would be inspiration because no one else in the world can show every emotion through a smile.  Even though he may be shy he is one of the most outstanding  people that I have met.  If you just smile at him he cracks a huge grin that brings joy to your heart.  Sal is definitely one of the most intriguing people that I have had the chance to get to know.
During the day, Sal stays at the orphanage because he is not able to go to school yet.  Instead he plays with toy cars and rocks.  We also play this tickle game where you tickle the other person and then run before they can get you back.  This is one of Sals favorite games.  I truly admire Sal for his positive attitude, especially after what he has been through.
If you could ever meet Sal you would instantly fall in love.  Sal has had a rough spot in his life but does not show any emotion towards what happened.  Sal is a great friend and he always puts a smile on my face.
