Nicolle Leon-Araujo

NICKNAMES: Nikki

ROLE MODEL(S): The role models in my life that I look up to everyday would be my parents; coming from Venezuela years ago was a tough journey, yet they could never regret it. A celebrity role model that inspires me is J. Cole; he is a very peaceful person that promote keeping away from bad habits, which I appreciate greatly.

FAVORITE AUTHOR/BOOK: James Dashner, a speculative fiction writer, would have to be considered my favorite author. He, also, wrote my favorite book, The Maze Runner . MOST POSITIVE MOMENT: Being rewarded as captain of the cheerleading team for the 2018-2019 school year was an amazingly positive moment for me. It made me feel appreciated, and it enveloped me with a feeling that people believed in me. PET PEEVES: Two large pet peeves of mine are when people constantly move their leg up and down and they can’t sit still and when people cancel plans last minute. WHAT MY FRIENDS WILL REMEMBER ABOUT ME: My friends would definitely remember me as someone who can always crack a joke at any moment and as someone who is very truthful. HOW WOULD YOU SPEND $1,000,000? Having $1,000,000 would be a dream, and spending it wouldn’t be tough; I’d start out with paying off any debts that I or my family would have. Then, responsibly, I would buy my dream life, including a nice house, cars, clothes, etc. The final expense to pay would be to go on vacation with my family. Lastly, the remaining money would be put away for future necessities. IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND, WHAT 3 ITEMS WOULD YOU WANT WITH YOU? If this were ever the case, I would need my phone, my dog, and a notepad/pencil.

ACTIVITIES @ PTHS: National Honors Society, Cheerleading, Key Club, and Art Club

FONDEST MEMORY OF HIGH SCHOOL SO FAR: My fondest memory of high school so far is making friends within the cheerleading team; I’ve gotten to know so many great people over the last four years.

3 MAJOR AREAS OF INTEREST: Cheerleading, Science, and Art

PLANS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL: I plan to go to either Loyola University Chicago or University of Illinois in Chicago, majoring in biological sciences or biochemistry, respectively. I will be enrolled in the pre-med programs, as well.

FAVORITE MOVIE: Pretty in Pink

MOST INSPIRATIONAL SONG: “Don’t Stop Me Now,” by Queen, is a song I can always listen to when I need to inspiration or motivation.

FAVORITE TEACHER/CLASS: My favorite teacher is Mr. Vogt by far; he makes his students feel welcomed to his classroom. Anatomy has definitely been my favorite class; that class was a catalyst, which amplified my love for the human anatomy.
