Getting to Know Noah

Noah and his Girlfriend

This week in English I had the opportunity of sitting down with a classmate to interview them. Many thoughts went through my head in the selection process because I could be all these kids' mother. Noah, whom sits next to me asked if he could interview me. I started off by asking him questions about himself. I learned about him as a person, his activities, his passions, plans after high school, and plans after college. 

Noah and his mother

Noah McMullen, age 17 is entering his senior year at Nazareth High school. He is part of the high school baseball team, in a relationship, occasionally hunts and enjoys to fish. When I  asked to describe himself, he finds himself to be very laid back and wears his heart on his sleeve.

His passion is baseball. He has been playing the sport since the age of five. Noah is a pitcher for his high school team. He has many accomplishments with this sport. In sixth and seventh grade he made the Lil League All-Star team, last year he was selected for the Junior Regional All-Stars, and many other accomplishments, too many to note.

Aside from baseball Noah has a broad background in music. He has been playing the keyboard for three years, drum and guitar for five years. Nazareth High School offers a class called "Block The Rock," that he is part of. The course consists of musicians, and they come together in class to perform song covers.

After high school Noah plans to attend Slippery Rock, Bloomsburg or Kutztown University. He would like to major in Health and PE Education and wishes to continue his baseball career at the Division 2 college level. 
Looking beyond college, he would like to return back to the Lehigh Valley to pursue a job as a  Health and PE teacher and a high school baseball coach.
Getting to know Noah came naturally. I find him very soft spoken, kind hearted and easy to communicate with. I wish him well and I believe he will follow his dreams and be very successful in life.
