Noah Slade-Joseph is beyond thankful to become a part of such a beautiful legacy of strong students, some of whom he's grown up with who have become role models in his life. He struggles to put into
...words the degree of gratitude he feels towards this recognition. Noah is now attending Fairleigh Dickinson to study social justice and international political science.
Noah was a member of BRHS choir for all four years of his high school career. When he was a freshman, Rebekah Hobbs- another scholarship winner- invited him to join. It was there where he cultivated a deep passion for music and the arts, opened doors and avenues to an entire world of music, got acquainted with the theater program in which he participated for all four years, and most importantly met lifelong friends who have impacted his growth, character, and life in beautiful and fundamental ways.
Noah credits much of his growth to Mr. Wilson and his Directors, Mr. and Mrs. Gunning. They are role models, teachers, and friends to him. They taught him about the strength and potency art has in our world, its ability to connect us as individuals, unite us, and heal us. During the tremulous years of high school they remained a source of security, consistency, and created an atmosphere of love that permeated everywhere they went. It was because of them that Noah was able to become who he is today.
Noah has decided to continue his pursuit of music and theater in college solely because of the impact he's seen it create in his life and the lives of others. He believes that social justice, advocacy, and even politics can be affected by the world of the arts because of its unbelievable ability to connect us. He is excited to see where the world will take him and is grateful to the Kimberly A Nelson foundation for its support in this path. He hopes to serve Kim's legacy well.
