Megan Androvich

Today I am interviewing Megan Androvich, one of our wonderful school bloggers. Megan is a thirteen-year-old girl in the eighth grade who enjoys horseback riding, reading, and drawing. Her favorite pastime event in school is the youth group’s annual trip to Camp Shiloh. During the school day, Megan enjoys doing math above all the other subjects. If she could choose, Megan would have chicken Caesar salad for lunch every day. Megan’s favorite season is winter because of the many fun activities the Christmas season holds, including the annual Christmas recital held by Mrs. Fryman and Ashley Graf. Since Megan loves to cook, she would like to work as a chef one day. Megan’s favorite Bible verse is I John 2:25, “And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.” Her classmates think she is a good friend, sweet, kind, energetic, courageous, fun, bright, and caring.
Her teacher says Megan is a bright, energetic student (and daughter!) who adds life and good-natured fun to our classroom (i.e. the changing of the clock 1 hour ahead conspiracy!) She is a lovely, good girl who strives to be upright in her character and pleasing to the Lord. The Bible says, “Every good gift… is from above,” and Megan is truly the Lord’s gift to me!

Meet Noel, also known as “the Noelster.” Noel is a die-hard Yankee fan who has been coming to our school for four years. Noel, a fifth-grader, loves Science. Noel’s favorite Yankees are Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. One of Noel’s fondest memories of school is the day that the boys made their fort. Noel’s favorite thing about our school is that everyone is friends and they all get along; he also says we have great teachers. Noel loves to fix cars; so, he wants to be an auto mechanic when he grows up.

Noel’s peers think that he’s awesome, he’s fun to be around, funny, energetic, fantastic, hard-worker, kind, an outstanding young man.

Here’s what his teacher says: Noel is the class mayor. He is very diplomatic, and though he is quiet, the kids know he is fair. I have known Noel to be very respectful, very kind, and very helpful to me. I trust him and that alone is something a teacher really values in a child. Noel is a wonderful addition to our class—we would never be the same without him.

I would like to introduce everyone to one of the finest students here at Long Island Baptist Academy… Brooke! You may hear fellow classmates or family members call her by the name Bob, since that’s her nickname. Brooke is currently in fifth grade and among her many subjects, Bible is her favorite. Our school’s annual visit to Old Bethpage Village and the visit to the IMAX Theater of the Air and Space Museum were two of her most memorable and fun school experiences. Speaking of fun, on Thursdays Brooke’s class gets to do some fun things and therefore it’s her favorite day of the week! Brooke is also a faithful customer to the school’s exceptional snack shop. Her favorite snack she buys is popcorn. Brooke’s favorite meal to eat is chicken parmesan and maybe she will soon be able to prepare us a delicious dinner, since she is considering being a chef when she grows up! But Brooke’s ideal dream for her future is to become a missionary’s wife. Here are some of the words her fellow students used to describe their friend: kind, funny, good friend, sweet, great personality, friendly, active, nice, energetic, happy, smart, and adventurous. Here’s what her teacher, Mrs. Graf had to say about her student, “Brooke is as beautiful in spirit as she is in person. She adds so much to our class with her cheerful, cooperative, and friendly ways. As a teacher, I know her to be respectful and a very good girl. She has a great sense of humor and a great sense of expression which adds so much to the spirit of the school.”
In closing, I would like to say that Brooke’s favorite thing about our school is that everybody is kind to each other and that we learn very good lessons every morning in opening exercises that we can apply to our lives.
