New Student Profile---Aiden Kelly

Aidan Kelly

Mr. Kelly

Aidan Kelly. Some say he is a Luger, some say he is awesome, maybe a little weird, or just that kid that loves to have fun and make people smile. This six foot, 168 pound, brown haired boy joins us this year after joining the Luge Program as an eleventh grader but is that what he really has to bring to the table here at the National Sports Academy?

Mr. Kelly ventures to NSA from Long Island, but unlike our dramatic, ceiling talking other Long Islanders Kelly is normal.  I took some time out of my weekend to learn the dirt on this boy not yet a man.  Although he takes his sport very serious he orders not one but two McDoubles at the infamous McDonalds on a late Friday night. Might I mention he is suppose to loose five pounds for his sport. While sitting at a booth watching him scarf down two burgers Aidan tells me how he has seven cats! Is this boy the cat lady we are missing at NSA? He explains that the reason for the seven cats is he rescues them! If he sees a kitty running down the street he forces his mom to pull over so he can snatch it and add it to his growing family that started with four!

But, not only does this boy rescue cats he has a secret obsession with short girls that are beautiful naturally! He doesn’t understand why a girl must wear makeup to make her pretty. I asked Aidan what would be the perfect date to take a girl like this on? He said, “ 100 percent Mini- Golfing!” As he went on a explained that mini golfing could teach you a lot about a girl he hinted that it was really the only thing he was bad at! “Why would I want them to feel they suck at life?” I took some time to reflect on that comment, was it cocky, or was in nothing but sincerity? As a girl I had finally met a guy who really cared about the female species. He was willing to embarrass himself to get something he really wanted.  Kelly is not only this way with girls but with everything he does in his life! As young as Aidan is he hopes to not only bring a little variety to NSA Sports but the real culture of a Long Islander to our school, and maybe reel in a cute short girl along the way!
