Yet, it is through her determination to show the world that charisma and confidence are far more important than vertical stature that her true nature really shines.

Goals & Aspirations: “After receiving an Honors Diploma at graduation, I plan to continue my education at a respectable college in the East Coast and go to medical school to study anesthesiology. Beyond education, I hope to travel the world someday.”
Accomplishments Most Proud Of: “I am so proud of achieving the honor of a National Honor Thespian of the International Thespian Society with 161 points. I hope to achieve international status before I graduate!”
Nikki is Successful Because: “I am successful because I am extremely passionate in whatever I set my heart to. Some of my dreams and goals are very ambitious, but none of them are unattainable to me. I don’t believe in giving up without a fight or not giving 100% into anything that I do. To me, anything’s possible.”
Nikki is Stronger and Wiser Because: “I have always been very short for my age, and people would tease or ridicule me for it. I became very shy and was afraid of what other people would say about me. However, as I got older, I started becoming more proud of the person that I am, and I have learned that the best person I could be is me. As Dr. Seuss once said, ‘A person’s a person no matter how small.’”
