For most people in high school, the end goal that they want the most: graduation. Paint Branch High School sophomore Naher Ghebru is no exception to this as he says of being in school, “High school is a stress; I just want to get out of here.”

One thing that can help alleviate these feelings for Naher is going to his favorite restaurant, Chick-fil-A, where he always gets a chicken sandwich and fries. He likes these, he says, because “ it’s just simple; easy.” As for his least favorite food, that would be a veggie sandwich, something his mom tries to give him often. He says he despises veggie sandwiches and will never eat one. 

Naher’s favorite brand is Nike, however the coolest thing he owns are his New Balance shoes. As for why Nike is his favorite, he notes “It has everything you need.” 

Naher is passionate about the game of soccer. His love for the game is unbreakable and he mentions that he wants to play for Paint Branch next year. Even though he is not playing for PB this year, he plays for ERI-STARS, and after a long game he enjoys water because that is his favorite thing to drink.

When it comes to sweets most teenagers love candy, but Naher isn’t like most. He doesn’t really like candy for the most part, but if you offered him a piece of milk chocolate he would eat it–though he wouldn’t attack it the way he does a Chick-FIl-A chicken sandwich.

While The New England Patriots hold a special place in Naher’s heart, he is equally passionate about basketball. His love for the Golden State Warriors was ignited by the team’s amazing style of play, characterized by their fast-paced offense and extraordinary three-point shooting.
