An Interview with Stephan by Frank

I would like you to meet Stephan. Stephan is also known as Stabe, Sven II, Gutenberg the Epic, and Stabone. Stephan, a junior in High school, loves math. He enjoys playing the piano, modifying computers, and eating Greek food. Stephan spends his leisure time listening to Bach and would love to travel to Italy one day. His fondest school memory is the time that Mrs. Graf surprised all the school students by bringing them bowling on April Fool’s Day. Stephan’s favorite book is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Unique, best friend, talented, one-of-a-kind, idealistic, witty, computer-savvy, and uplifting are all words that Stephan’s classmates used to describe him.

Stephan’s teacher, Mrs. Androvich, had this to say about her student:
If we had “Superlatives” in our school, Stephan would most probably be voted “Most Individualistic.” Stephan is not afraid to stand alone in his opinions, and in these days and times, that is certainly an asset! He is an independent, hard worker, and a gifted writer (it runs in his family!) The Lord has given Stephan an exceptional way with words and invariably is called upon for his unique and witty sentences in English Class. Stephan is an integral and important student in our class and we love him!

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.
