John Nicolas is a 16-year-old junior (Class of 2027), student-athlete, member of the school’s JV soccer team, and an independent E-sports club. When he was a freshman in 2023-04, he didn’t know any friends until he met three friends. However, from time to time, he met more friends and gained more experience about high school, discovering that it’s challenging, which he basically likes. He runs a small business to help save for college and aspires to become a civil engineer to support his parents. Also known as “Shikamaru” for his patience and intelligence, John is passionate about soccer—especially Barcelona and Arsenal—and enjoys traveling, playing soccer (at Small clubs) on weekends, and video gaming when time permits. His favorite dream is to retire his parents.
