noel was born in montreal, quebec and resided there for 15 years. he got to experience a lot of french and canadian culture, and he enjoyed the diversity he was exposed to. to this day, he still has some of the french accent while speaking english. in his first years in the states, though, he felt embarrassed by his accent and tried to learn how to suppress it. he never fully did though, and it especially comes out in certain words, such as catholic or electric where he ends it with more of an “eek” sound.
he grew up in a lower income household to immigrant parents who thought they could make a living with their bakery in montreal.
while in school, noel’s teachers realized he was extremely smart and had a lot of potential. despite growing up in a francophone household, he learned english quick and was very good in both languages.
so, to ensure noel had a better future, his parents encouraged him to go to a good high school in the united states so he could go to a good american college.
noel then decided to apply to mhp, and to his surprise, he got in on a full ride.
(begin mentions of panic attacks)
in high school, noel started to get panic attacks. before a large debate competition, noel started to feel sick and like something terrible was about to happen.
after that, he started getting them more often. he didn’t immediately recognize what was happening, but after it started affecting him, he looked online for answers.
now, noel knows that he’s experiencing panic attacks, and does everything he can to avoid having them around other people. he doesn’t want to be the center of attention or get negative attention.
(end mentions of panic attacks)
noel definitely had high expectations for the mhp, but he ended up finding it less than ideal.
he wasn’t hated, per se, but he wasn’t loved by everybody either. he always did everything he could to be kind due to a mix of his kindhearted nature and wanting to be liked. however, he was often too nice, leading others to make jokes about him, harass him, or take advantage of his kindness.
noel tried not to let it get to him, though. he knew that he was being a good person.
in an attempt to get over his shyness, noel started to participate in debate, and to his surprise, he was great at it!
after years of excelling in speech and debate, noel realized he wanted to go into the law profession.
to gain political science and law experience, he began interning at law offices and creating french materials for local elections to try to gain francophone voters.
he’s very academic, and is often studying or practicing his debate skills. early in the morning, you can always find him in the cafe or library.
getting into hatchett was a dream for him, he would’ve never imagined that somebody from his background could do it.
gradually, he’s working on his confidence and openness, and now loves to make friends and have deep conversations.
overall, he’s very sincere and nice but he’s also learned how to be persuasive and honest with those around him, and always fight for justice and what’s right.
