01 / ABOUT ME
A little about who I am.
I’m happiest when I’m learning something new, playing a game, or helping someone out.
I’m Noah, a freshman at Calvary Day School. I’d describe myself as happy, smart, and someone who wants to help others. I work hard in school, enjoy a good book, and love basketball.
I’m also the oldest of four kids. Helping my two younger brothers and younger sister with homework, babysitting, and playing with them are important parts of my life. Being someone they can count on matters to me.

THE NEXT CHAPTER
Working hard today. Exploring tomorrow.
My focus this year is doing well in a challenging course load and continuing to grow as a basketball player. I also want to find opportunities to help others through community service.
I’ve talked about becoming a doctor, and medicine is one possibility I’m interested in exploring as I learn more about my future.
Ideas for sophomore year
A Guys Service Club and an esports club are two ideas I’m considering for sophomore year. Both are still ideas, rather than established clubs or current activities.
