Nathaniel



N athaniel Bernard Green would describe himself as, “an athletic person who is smart, and enjoys sports.” I definitely agree, because Nate Green is a fun guy, that you’d love to meet. He’s smart, athletic, funny, and has many more traits than you would expect to find in one young man. Overall, Nate is a wonderful boy to be around. He has many friends, but his best friend is Julian Beal. They share many of the same interests, such as skate-boarding, and just having fun. In his own words, “We laugh at each other rather than understanding each other.” This is quite a relationship, if I may say so myself. But, they obviously do care about each other a lot, and they definitely are the best of friends, and hopefully always will be. One of the similar interests Nate and Julian share include animals. Nate owns a snake of his own, that he is really happy to have. Nate’s love for animals, and nature, explains why his favorite subject is life science because, according to Nate, “It gives you the opportunity to experiment in class.” Nate is an amazing athlete! He takes part in many sports, for which he has a passion. Those sports include baseball, hockey, and wrestling. He even wrestled on the Herbert Hoover Team last year. Coincidentally, Nate’s role model is none other than a baseball player, named Chase Utley. According to Nate, “He shows dedication to baseball, and is a good sportsman.” This shows Nate’s strong passion towards sports. Along with those sports, Nate has an interest in biking. When Nate was seven, he began to have a desire to get a BMX bike. He saved up money for two years, and when he was nine, he finally got a blue BMX bike. The day of Nate’s little sister’s birthday, he went out to have a ride, being annoyed by the “screaming of little girls.” After riding around a little, and doing some tricks, he headed home, when he hit the driveway, and he flipped over his handlebars, smashing his on the cement. Unfortunately, that incident led to Nate receiving 30 stitches. But, it definitely didn’t make Nate enjoy riding his bike any less. Similar to many other 13-year-olds, Nate does have some plans of what his future will be like. Something each and every one of us must have spent time thinking about is what our dream house would be. Nate also has a vision; a house by the beach, with at least eight rooms, and six bathrooms, and a two acre yard, leading to the water. To achieve his dream house, that is most likely over $1 Million, he would need to go to college, and get a job. Nate wishes to go to Brown University, because it is an Ivy League school, and it will be a good school to go to for his major, which is Stock Trading. When Nate grows up, he wants to be a stock trader, because he is very good at math, and he likes the idea of making a lot of money. His dad has told him about a lot about stock trading which made him even more interested in the occupation. Nate has many aspirations for his future, so when ten years from now, when he is 23, he envisions himself to be a stock trader, living in his dream home, with a large boat. All in all, Nate is a fun-loving, 13-year-old, 8th grader at Herbert Hoover Middle School. He is a son, a friend, a student, and a brother. He balances all parts of his life, and does it with a smile on his face. You definitely should get to know him, because I did, and it was a wonderful experience. //-Dimple Patel//
