Howdy-Leah Noble

For everyone reading this, you probably already figured out what my name is just by reading the heading above. But for those of you who are less attentive than others, my name is Leah Noble and probably like you, I am 16 years old and am part of the Liberal Arts Academy at Henry Clay. I don't really have any nicknames, but three of my closest friends will sometimes call me Lee if they really want to get my attention (I'm not sure why I respond to it, but it works). You all probably don't know much about me because I spend the least amount of time possible in things related to school. Everything I do, however, revolves almost completely around my life as a Christian. I am very involved in the student ministry of Porter Memorial Baptist Church, which is where and who I spend most of my time with. Here is a picture of some of my friends and me on Easter Sunday this year:

 

This summer contained many meaningful moments for me, but I would have to say the best one was the mission trip I went on with my youth group to Atlanta, GA. We help with a sports and activities camp for kids K-6th grade. It was so cool to work with the kids and know that you were making an impact on their lives.

 

This year my goals are, like most, to maintain a 4.0 GPA and pass all 5 of my AP exams with a 4 or 5. If I had to pick a superpower, I would probably pick the ability to fly (I know, so cliché). I enjoy going up in airplanes and just really love the idea of soaring above miles of land.

 

What geeks me out is music, especially guitar. I began teaching myself to play guitar early this year and have fallen in love with the instrument. I find it so cool and mind blowing to be able to press on a couple of strings and create beautiful sounds that, when put together, become songs. In addition to guitar and on the note of music, I also enjoy just listening to songs and picking out harmonies, which I found myself doing much more often since playing guitar. The fact that I really don't know much at all about music theory also geeks me out in that there is so much that I can't wait to learn.

 

I spend most of my internet time on Instagram if that counts, but I guess you could say my favorite website is where I get the tabs for the songs I play on guitar: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/
