Avery Niekamp, Staff Writer
Avery Niekamp is a sophomore at Celina High School. She was born in Florida and adopted as an infant, gaining a new home in Celina, Ohio.
Niekamp has one younger sibling, a sister, who is currently in 7th grade. She loves spending time with her sister and learns new things from her everyday.
She enjoys spending time with and having conversations with all kinds of people. Seeing her friends immediately lightens her mood, she gains energy from seeing others smile.
She is extremely sarcastic and can turn anything into a joke.
Niekamp enjoys school on most days, as much as one can anyway, but sometimes gets stressed like most people. She thinks it's important to not let your grades and test scores define who you are, obviously that's easier said than done.
Her favorite subject varies from year to year. She focuses more on the teacher and their teaching style, she thinks a good teacher can make anything interesting.
Niekamp is involved in volleyball and although she loves playing the sport that's not her whole reasoning behind it. She loves being competitive, sometimes even with her own teammates, but loves them like family. Being a part of something like a team is something Niekamp thinks everyone should experience.
A few things Niekamp particularly enjoys are music and reading. She likes to say she has an obsession with both of those things. They both are a place for people to have a creative outlet and express themselves. She likes them because they allow her mind to take a brief break from reality.
