Lowell, MA- Rarely, a young, intelligent girl has it all planned out. But it is possible. One LHS student has a passion for surgery.
Nickolaine “Nikki” Encarnacion, a 15-year-old LHS sophomore, has her entire life planned out. Nikki has recently moved to this City this past July from New Jersey.
As a child in Passait, New Jersey, she played as a doctor. This game of dress up turned into something more serious when she later decided that she wanted to become a medical surgeon. Nikki enjoys the thought of helping people which is what inspired her to become a medical surgeon.
Nikki said, “It’s funny. I don’t like doctors at all, but I just have the spirit for becoming a surgeon.”
Nikki’s aunt, a role model to her, inspired her to become a surgeon. She became a doctor later in life.
“My aunt is a role model because she was able to become a doctor as an older student,” she continued.
Music with meaning is also interesting to Nikki.
This girl is open minded to all types of music as long as there is a good message to the songs. When she is listening to music with good meaning, it allows her to relate on a more personal level. That’s when she can make a stronger connection with the tunes.
