Known for his freestyle raps, infectious sense of humor, and seemingly endless supply of cutoff t-shirts, Noel joined as one of Bench Mark Program’s initial students. Once slipping down a dangerous slope, he made the conscious decision to push away negative influences and start realizing his full potential. Noel is one of our best attending students, and we’ve seen tremendous growth, both inside and outside of the gym. Not only can Noel now justify wearing cutoffs, he can show off his muscles at Thaddeus Steven College, where he’ll study water and environmental technology in the fall! 

"I never had anyone to push me before like Bench mark Program. I feel blessed that they believed in me from the beginning, and i know they are always there for me."
