by Kevin Sims When the chemistry is just right, a match can really make the difference in a child's life.  And that could be the case this week with our Wednesday's Child, Kenyon.  When we found out he loves science, we knew just where to take him.  The Creative Discovery Museum in downtown Chattanooga puts on daily science shows in its laboratory.Right away, the show's leader pulls Kenyon on stage and has him turn a potato purple by using iodine.  He is eager to learn more because experiments are right up his alley.  He enjoys math, science and even the spelling bee he studied so hard for recently.  "I studied everywhere I went," Kenyon says, "I even studied at football practice.  Right after I got out of football practice I studied."  And he made it all the way through the 6th grade words. While he likes being a lineman, football's probably not his future.  "I just get tired when I have to wear the pads," Kenyon says.  "(Get) the pants, get the pads on, get the jersey on.  It's just hard work playing football.  But when you play baseball you just have to put on the pants, put on the jersey (and) you're done."  He is starting his first season of baseball this spring.  He enjoys playing shortstop the most.He is an active kid who is doing his part.  Kenyon is an honor roll student and regularly attends church, where he sings in the choir.  "It just helps me learn about the Lord and how I can do stuff for Him and how I can be a better person," Kenyon says. But now he needs somebody else to step up, somebody that can brighten and enlighten his world.  "I really don't have a male figure in my life," the third-grader says, "so I'm really looking forward to having a big brother."Any potential matches would be lucky.  Kenyon is the type of kid that makes you forget you're an adult.  He dashes through the Discovery Musuem from one activity to the next with excitement.  He hopes to someday have a big brother by his side.  "Because if you don't have like a figure, or a role model," he says, "you just feel weak everyday you don't have quality time to spend with nobody."You can make a big difference in Kenyon's life by being that big brother.  Call (423) 698-8016 or click here.
