Accomplishments: Aiden is a Science and Math whiz at school. When he turned 5 on March 2, he already knew how to count by fives to 200, twos to 200, and by tens much higher. He learned to do quick addition by playing Blackjack — a game his dad taught him. That’s pretty amazing. He likes cards, as poker is another favorite game with Jacks being wild.
At school, Aiden’s favorite thing to do is play football outside with his best buddies. He calls his team the 49ers and often leads the game.

This baseball season, he got to play T-Ball for the first time on the “Rangers." He especially liked being the pitcher and first baseman. He has a strong arm and was always in ready position for any ball. He’s a slugger, to boot.
Aiden likes any and all sports, and recently discovered a zest for ice hockey after going to one of the San Jose Sharks playoff games. He loves the game so much that he asks his parents to watch ice hockey highlights on the computer daily and is already planning an ice hockey birthday party when he turns 6 next March.
Future plans: Aiden hopes to one day become a train conductor. He can see himself attending UC Berkeley to follow his dream. He notes that this school is close to the train ride at Tilden Park.
Aiden also loves sports so much that he can also see himself playing ice hockey professionally. Perhaps he’ll be the next San Jose Sharks superstar.
