“No! You know what we look like? Project Hail Mary,” Edward joked before entering the chamber. “That’s accurate! Let’s do that. One, two, three…”<\/p>\n
Most people take a second to find their footing inside the roaring wind tunnel. Not Edward. At just 13 years old, he dives into new challenges headfirst.<\/p>\n
“It’s not like it’s going to snap\u2014I mean it could, but…” Edward said.<\/p>\n
When asked if he felt any fear, he shook it off.<\/p>\n
“No, because there’s a person in there helping you and can save you if something happens,” he explained.<\/p>\n
Edward is a rising eighth grader currently navigating the Texas foster care system. He stands out immediately for his bright personality and sharp sense of humor.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know, I just like talking a lot,” Edward grinned when asked about his wit.<\/p>\n
His talkative nature was on full display with his flight instructor during a playful debate about aging.<\/p>\n
“I was like oh no, I don’t want to be old…” Edward said.<\/p>\n
“Over 41 is old?!” the instructor replied.<\/p>\n
“Well… not old old,” Edward teased.<\/p>\n
While he currently calls Central Texas home, Edward dreams of flying out of the state with a permanent family. He wants to see the waves of California and look up at the skyscrapers of New York City.<\/p>\n
“I love Texas and all but, I’ve seen everything there is to see in Texas. I have!” Edward said.<\/p>\n
Outside of indoor skydiving, Edward loves to bake, thinks reptiles are incredibly cool, and listens to his favorite singer, Benson Boone.<\/p>\n
Behind his adventurous spirit and quick jokes is a teenager looking for a secure foundation. When asked how he wants a forever family to support him in his day-to-day life, Edward shared a heartfelt answer.<\/p>\n
“Probably support who I am, internally, personality, and just be there for me,” Edward said. “So yeah.”<\/p>\n
Edward needs a family that will embrace his unique personality, encourage his dreams, and stand by his side as he grows.<\/p>\n
