Lowell, MA- A tall LHS athlete with blue-green eyes stands in the gym ready to take off.

Looking up at the sky, grabbing eggs from his home chicken coop, “going on a run for Cross Country… then attend Wrestling practice,” is a day well spent says Bobby.  Not to forget ending it with his father’s homemade meals or one he cooks himself.

He leads a simple life and enjoys being outside.  Whether it be; “riding my ATV, hiking, fishing, practicing sports, or going out with friends,” he said. 

Besides him having the exhilarating occupation of a firefighter, Bobby wants to live stably, with his own house.  Bobby describes his future home having a “huge, lush garden… along with raising a family” there.

Not planning to stay in Lowell, McCarthy says he will either spend his life on the peaceful nature side of New Hampshire or California. Steering away from the busy cars and buildings, Bobby says, “The trees, lakes, and mountains is where I want to be.”

Most of all, he wants to become a respected man with a good heart and soul because as simple as Bobby McCarthy put it, “God can read your heart”.
