Interview with Noah Livesay
Q: What name
would you like the readers to know you by?
A: The name I
would want my readers to know me by would be Noah.
Q: How old are
you?
A: I am 12
years old and my birthday is March 5th.
Q:
What is the most unusual thing about living in Haiti?
A:
The most unusual thing about living in Haiti is the way they celebrate the
holidays. They do not do them the way we would do them in the states. For
example Christmas is only decorated for and celebrated on a smaller scale than
those in the United States. One of my favorite traditions we do is
our Christmas videos. For one of the Christmas videos I got
to be Elvis singing a different version of Don’t Be Cruel. My siblings and I
love this tradition.
Q:
How does living in Haiti make your life different than the average teen’s life?
A: Life in the Haiti is different because we
don’t play sports. The only sports to play here are soccer and basketball. In
the states the variety is larger. One of the
most unusual things about living in Haiti is the giant pigs that walk on the
streets, and bathing in the gross rivers. But another hard thing about living
here is that our friends always leave Haiti. Our field trips are more unique
here because we get to go to the beach. The beaches in Haiti are beautiful
because the water is see through.
Q: What is your daily routine like?
A: My daily routine consists of the
following things: wake up, get dressed, fix my hair, eat breakfast, brush my
teeth, feed the dogs, go to school, in the morning at school we do prayer,
math, typing, and geography. At lunch time we play games and jump on the
trampoline. In the afternoon we do Reading,
Science, English, and Unit study. After
school at home I usually do my homework, then I watch TV and when I’m sick of
TV I do whatever I want for the rest of the afternoon.
Q: Tell me
about your family.
A: We are a very close family. Most of the time my family is very nice to
each other. Even though there are age differences we usually all hang out
together. One thing we like to do is play on the trampoline and compete in butt
wars. Butt wars is when you jump from your feet to
your butt and over and over again and whoever gets tired/stops first loses.
Q: What
talents has God gifted you with?
A: My favorite talent that God gave me
is my humor. I use it to make people laugh or smile. I love making jokes around
my family to see how they react.
Noah is willing to answer questions from
blog readers. So bring on the questions. :)
Thanks for having Noah and Isaac. I know it was hard to get them to realize how different their lives are (because it is all they know) - but I appreciate the way you stuck with it and gave them the chance to share here. With love, Tara
