The English teacher
The English teacher
Mr. Stormont was at a very young age when he decided teaching was his passion, and it was all thanks to one man. Who you may be asking? Well it's none other than his seventh grade English teacher Mr.Goldenberg. You see, he wasn't really good at academics and had no clue what he wanted to do, but Mr.Goldenburg was a sweet and kind person that made learning fun. He was the only teacher that engaged a young Stormont like never before. That’s when it all changed. After seeing how amazing of a man Mr.Goldenberg was, he wanted to be a teacher. He wanted to give the joy he was given. After this interaction and decision, he stuck with his choice and pursued teaching passionately.
The Rockstar That Is Embedded In His DNA
The Rockstar That Is Embedded In His DNA
Mr. Stormont is a rockstar at heart. He even had a band, whose name will stay classified, but was the lead singer and guitarist, he also dabbled in the drums or percussion. His love for music grew and eventually it would outweigh his love for running. He would play in his band for approximately seven years and then they would break up due to real life problems. Simply put “they were all getting mature” and had lives to live. Still, to this day he keeps music with him and sings and writes all of his songs. He sings with his brother who is one heck of a musician himself and they keep music in the family business. When will we hear his latest and only album? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: his love for music will stay with him till his very last days.
The Runner That Never Runs Out Of Gas
The Runner That Never Runs Out Of Gas
Wanting or yearning to do something to pass the time by in his high school days, he joined cross country. There, he fell in love with running. Later on he would join track, and was on the team for four years. Later in life his tank would run empty, and he traded running for music. During the era of covid-19 his gas tank was filling itself back up. Now with more freetime, he picked back up his running shoes and started sprinting again. One year later he was running marathons. He has a strict diet and watches everything he eats, which could and probably be one of the reasons he can run so well. He started running marathons and gave it his all, putting his body on the line to surpass his limits. Not only did he become a great runner, but he surpassed his own expectations. A week ago, he beat one of his own records by running a 10k marathon in a little over an hour, a personal best and a moment he will never forget. When asked if he would give up teaching to become an olympic runner he said “right away, I love running.” A love he once traded became his everything.
This is the untold truth of William Stormont.
