Better than a salad

While Kale Holman has an interesting first name for a young boy, it isn’t pronounced like the latest superfood. It is actually pronounced ka-lee. Still, people do mistake his name for the vegetable kale and he does not like it. When people talk to him about his name, he always stresses that his name is not pronounced like that. He also points out that he doesn’t actually like his namesake vegetable.

If he could change his name, he said that he would change it to Chris because, “I do not like when people call me Kale like the vegetable.” 

Holman doesn’t know where he got his first name from or why he was named this, but he has met someone who shares his name, but she was a girl. He met her in his physical education class at his middle school, Crystal. 

Although Holman is not sure what he wants to do when he graduates, he doesn’t currently have plans to move on to college. He does know that he enjoys playing basketball and that his favorite subjects in school are physical education and ceramics. The present is enough to keep him interested for the time being.
