My name is Nico Aldaz, and I am in 10th grade. I enjoy drawing, playing video games, listening to music, and running. I pursue drawing by letting my creativity and thoughts come to life. A great opportunity for me to do this is art class, which motivates me to keep pursuing my enjoyment of art and enhance my skills. I enjoy video games by letting my mind escape and immersing myself into the world of whatever game I’m playing. A great chance for me to enjoy them was Gaming Club, where I could enjoy games with other people. I also enjoy video games because of the wacky things you can do in most of them. I enjoy music because you can also immerse yourself in whatever song or album you’re listening to. Music is so widespread as a whole that there’s something for pretty much anyone. I pursue running because it embodies a journey which you have full control of. My favorite part of running is that you can choose entirely where you want to go, your own pace, and where your final destination is.
