Interview with Qadir Allen

Qadir Allen is currently a freshman at Northampton Community College. He is majoring in sports management because of his devout love of sports, in particular basketball. Qadir is planning on trying out for the NCC basketball team when the season comes. After two years of attending NCC, he is planning on transferring to either DeSales University or Lehigh University. Qadir is planning on finishing his major at either of these schools as well as continuing his basketball career. With the degree in sports management, his goals are to own a sports team, be a coach of a team, or be the manager of a team; although, his main goal is to still be playing basketball after college. Aside from playing basketball, his interests include learning how to fix many different things, including cars and houses. Also, Qadir enjoys learning interesting things about nature, such as storms and how they form. In the future, Qadir is hoping to start a family as well as still playing basketball or having a job in the sports management field. “If you were to become the richest man in the world, what would you do with your money?” I asked him this question and his response was first he would pay his parents’ house off as well as any other expenses they have. Then, he would make sure to pay for his brothers and sisters to go to college. Next, he would give back to the community by giving money to charities and local people in need. Finally, he would save the rest of his money to make sure that he remained financially stable for the rest of his life. Overall, Qadir Allen is a college student majoring in sports management who wants to stay involved with sports, in particular basketball, for the rest of life because of his devout love for them.

Hi everyone.

My name is Brandon Long and I am a senior at Nazareth Area High School. I play both soccer and volleyball at the varsity level for Nazareth. My soccer career has lasted for almost 14 years now and for most of my career I have been playing as a goalie. I have only been playing volleyball for two years now. My volleyball career started when I was a sophomore and was looking for something to keep me busy during the spring. One of my friends convinced me to try out for the team and I ended up taking his spot on the JV team. In my junior year, I was promoted to playing for the varsity team and started almost every game. My hobbies, aside from the sports I play for my high school, are fishing, snowboarding, and basketball. Basketball is a sport that I play to fill free time and that I play with my friends. I do not play on an official basketball team. Fishing is an activity that I do with both my friends and family. I fish locally with my friends, and with my family I go deep sea fishing out of Belmar, New Jersey. I have a step brother that attends Lehigh University, majoring in business. I also have a step brother that attends Liberty High School. My little brother, Adam, is a huge baseball fan and is dreaming of making it into the MLB. After high school, I plan on attending a four year university and majoring in engineering. My hopes are to get into Penn State University Park and continuing my academic career there. Other schools I am looking at include Lafayette College and University of Delaware.
