Who am I?
I’m Nicole: daughter of dentist, Dave, and nurse, Linda. I have three siblings, two brothers, and one sister. I am a true middle child. I don’t appreciate a lot of attention. With such a large family, I’ve learned to kick back and “go with the flow”. I can be quiet when I’m nervous and intimidated or I can be fairly outgoing. Overall, I’m just a laid back person going along with things while still planning for my future.
I’m a person who loves the experiences in life. I appreciate events and trips more than possessions. Not to say that I do not appreciate certain obtainable objects, I just find lasting gratitude in something I’m able to feel. For example, my mission trip this summer was amazing. It really helped me realize some things about God and myself. I also love to travel. I enjoy the sun and the snow. I can snowboard and ski, but I mostly prefer the exhilaration I get from boarding. There’s nothing more refreshing then speeding down the Colorado hills in the brisk winter air on a powder day.
My biggest influences are my parents, siblings, and friends. Mostly my mother lectures me and teaches me everything. My dad is the funny one, and my siblings are always along for the ride. My older brother has really showed me how to have fun and still do well in school and athletics. Also, my friends influence me. We all enjoy hanging out on Friday and Saturday nights. However, most of my friends are very focused academically as well. With my friends, there is never ever a dull moment, and I love each and every one of them.
My goal in life is to be happy. I want to go to college and perhaps become a nurse. I’m not quite sure what college will be the best fit for me because I’m only a junior. But I know that whatever my occupation is, it will involve helping people. I don’t want to sit in a cubicle-calling people who don’t want to hear my voice. I want to lend a hand to people who actually need help. And since I find science fascinating I plan on becoming a doctor or nurse. But my general purpose in life is to be happy with who I am and who I will become.
Overall, I’m me.
