Key to Awesomeness: Chris knows how to be a gentleman and since he studies a lot, he gets very good grades.  His favorite subject is social studies, because, he said, the teacher makes it interesting and lots of fun.

But although he reveres the study of what came before, , Chris said he “really likes looking up in the sky at the clouds and stuff to try to predict the weather.”

He plans to become a meteorologist upon graduation, so he can study the weather even more.  He doesn’t want to be a weatherman, he said, because he doesn’t want to be on television.  Chris just wants to learn about the weather and its different patterns.

When asked where he would like to attend college, he replied, “It’s too early to decide that.”

And though he's a Lower Macungie resident -- pretty much part of Flyers territory -- one of his favorite pastimes is watching the New Jersey Devils play ice hockey.
