This month's student of the month is a budding musician. Read what he has to say about himself.
Q: How would you describe yourself?
A: I am the happiest boy in the world because God has blessed me greatly. I'm 14 years old and I was born in New York City. I speak two languages, Spanish and English.
Q: How did you become a musician?
A: I've been a musician since I was a small child. I started taking lessons on the piano when I was seven, but I was playing by ear before that time. I first started playing on a toy piano that my parents bought me for my birthday.
Q: What grade are you in, and what courses are you taking or will you take?
A: This is my first year at Alpha Omega Academy. I am in ninth grade, and I am taking physical fitness, world history, physical science, Foundations for Living®, English I, and Algebra I.
Q: What aspect of AOA do you enjoy the most?
A: Communications with my teachers. My teachers help me very willingly. The material is very nice and organized. In a previous school, I had a more difficult time getting in touch with the teachers.
Q: Describe your hobbies, interests, etc.
A: I love to camp in Copake Falls, New York. I also play the piano and like to play with my remote-controlled helicopter and cars. My other hobbies include ice skating, skiing, bike riding, hiking, tennis, and fishing.
Q: What are some of your favorites (e.g. food, movie, Bible story/verse, sport, music, etc.)?
A: I like all food. My favorite Bible stories are about King David, the creation story, and the life Jesus.
Q: What are your future plans or dreams for college and/or career?
A: I want to become a professional pianist and give concerts worldwide, glorifying God for the talent he has given me.
Q: Who was the most significant role model in your life? Why?
A: Jesus, because He is the Way and the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6).
Q: What is your most treasured possession?
A: The talent God gave me in the piano.
Q: Is there anything you have always wanted to do but haven't done yet?
A: I dream of performing my first concert at Carnegie Hall. I would like to go to Juilliard when I go to college.
Q: If you could meet anyone, who would that be and why?
A: Richard Clayderman. He is a great pianist and his music inspires me.
Q: What would others be surprised to learn about you (unusual hobbies or skills)?
A: My music skills. I play every once in a while in the subways of New York City. On Christmas Eve, I asked my dad if he would take me, and he finally did. The people really liked it so every once in a while my dad takes me there to play. When I first started playing, I only knew a couple of Christian songs, but now I have more songs memorized.
Q: Of what accomplishment in life are you most proud?
A: The production of my first CD. It is called The Best Classical Melodies. I am currently working on my second CD.
