As aforementioned, Davonte is very athletic and especially likes skateboarding, playing football, basketball, and soccer. He wants to be a basketball player when he grows up, though he has most recently played on a soccer team and that was a great experience for him. When he isn’t playing sports or spending time outside, Davonte is really great at sticking to his daily routine which includes watching movies, playing video games, playing with puzzles, marbles, and board games like Connect 4. Davonte really appreciates a clean and organized area, so besides his clear dedication to puzzles, with pieces scattered about the floor, it is a priority to him to keep his space neat and tidy.

In school, Davonte is eager to learn and does well with one-on-one time with his teacher. He is conscientious and takes his time learning new information and retaining new concepts.
