Luke

Scenario

 

Luke is a 15-year-old boy who is quiet but very friendly. He's extremely athletic and particularly good at basketball, and usually plays power forward or center. Luke has a lot of great ideas and an excellent memory, but doesn't like to raise his hand.
He tends to stay quiet during group work and is clearly uncomfortable speaking or presenting in front of the class. In school, Luke gets mostly B's, a few A's, a few C's.
He did extremely well in Biology, but is struggling with Physics. Luke is planning to apply for college and hoping to be on the basketball team at a Division One school. He says he'll study "business or something" while he's there, but the focus will be on getting into the NBA.
