Nick shared that he tried to go to college
straight out of high school, but it wasn’t
something that worked out for him. “It was
the first time in my life I wasn’t in a music

why it’s so important for schools to keep art
and music programs. People need a way to
express themselves.”
“It’s easy to lose a sense of yourself as a
teenager; to become a small piece in a
Jackson Pollock painting, to turn into one of
three people,” Nick emphasized the
importance of having a creative outlet and
not falling into the trap of thinking you have
to fit into a category. There is no one-size-
fits-all.
