Our Interview With Noah

Was this the first time you entered the contest?
Yes!

How did you hear about the contest?
I believe I saw it on scholarships.com or a similar scholarship website.

What inspired your work?
I’ve always been a big fan of Hamilton and decided to take a page out of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s book by rapping about the Constitution

What did you learn about the U.S. Constitution while creating your entry?
I, and I’m sure many of my peers who also participated in this contest, got a much more comprehensive view of the intricacies of the Constitution through my research when deciding on what lyrics I wanted for the song. I originally considered going into detail on each and every amendment, so I had the opportunity to do a lot of research on them then, but I ended up deciding against that for the sake of the lyrics, as to not be repetitive.

How do you plan to spread the word this year to your peers about the importance of the U.S Constitution?
I’ve been encouraging all of my friends to vote in this election, and the value of the Constitution is a great reason to get to the polls and exercise your right to vote!

Which U.S. historical site would you like to visit?
I’ve visited D.C. but I’ve never had a chance to be very close to the White House, so getting a chance to see the seat of our executive branch would be really cool.

What are your career plans?
I plan on going into either research ecology or working with the government in some capacity to further national and global conservation goals!

How do you spend your free time?
I barely seem to have any now that I’m in college, but when I’m free I enjoy being able to lay back and read a good book.

Why is the Constitution relevant today?
The Constitution is as relevant today as when it was written. As a living document, it defines how we create and protect our freedoms as Americans.
