Nolan Hill

My name is Nolan Hill, and I live in the small town of Lower Wedgeport with my parents, Leanne Doucette and Adam Hill, and my cat. I live around most of my mom’s side of the family, and they're always there whenever I need something. My dad played baseball for a long time in his life, so the second I was old enough to swing a bat he had me in the backyard teaching me. Lower Wedgeport is a small French town, therefore, my mom grew up speaking French. I went to a French elementary school, and a French middle/high school until grade 8. I transferred to my old high school during my 8th grade year, and at that time, I was just there for school. However, when the basketball coach saw how tall I was at 13, he asked me to play. I've continued to play basketball every year since then. At the end of grade 11, I had the opportunity to come to Oyen, away from home and my parents, to play baseball for the academy.  Of course, I would want to do that, I've wanted to play baseball for an academy for years. My parents liked the idea and saw it as a way for me to be better prepared for college. I could only come here if I paid a little portion of my schooling, so I picked up a job at Kent Building Supplies to make some extra money. I came here knowing it would be tough, as I've never really been away from home. On September 1st, 2024, I left my parents, my entire family, my girlfriend, and everything familiar to me. This experience has been challenging, but worth it! I have enjoyed my time at the academy, made some new buddies, and am now a proud SCHS graduate!
