Noah Braida, a senior at Wallenpaupack, is someone who always tries to put his all in everything he does. Throughout high school, he has been involved in various activities, including FBLA, weightlifting, student ambassadors, NHS, and baseball. He has also participated in Environmental Club, Unified Bocce, Local History Club, and basketball, and intends on doing swim for the first time during his senior year. Outside of school, Noah enjoys working out, playing baseball, spending time with his friends, and doing volunteer work at the Hawley Senior Center.
Among his activities, weightlifting and FBLA are Noah’s stand out favorites. He enjoys weightlifting since he appreciates being able to see his own progress, which gives him a sense of pride in his efforts. FBLA has also become especially meaningful to him because he didn’t really expect to enjoy it initially. However, after his experiences last year, he’s become very fond of it.
After graduation, Noah plans to attend a university, although he has not yet decided which one. His ultimate goal is to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy. He’s been inspired by many things including his mother, the Exercise Sports Medicine CTE program, and his teacher, Mrs. Rags. During his senior year, Noah hopes to maintain his grades while also doing well on his SATs and AP tests.
Some of Noah’s favorite memories at Wallenpaupack derive from the times he’s spent with friends at the annual triathlon and attending FBLA states during his junior year. He is grateful for all the experiences he’s had during high school and believes that attending Wallenpaupack has provided him with better experiences than he could have ever imagined.
Looking towards the future, Noah sees himself becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy and possibly creating his own company while enjoying life to the fullest. Above all, he hopes others remember him as someone who always tried his hardest at everything he’s done. He also gives a special shoutout to his mother for the guidance and positive influence she has had throughout his life.
