About me

I am Nicholas Phipps and I am currently in my first year of college and in my second semester. I graduated from Mountain View high school in Lawrenceville where I liked to play both football and basketball.I was born in Dekalb County but I moved to Gwinnett when I was four. I live with my older brother and both of my parents. My dad is from Jamaica and my mom is from Indiana. I like to listen to all types of music. I am interested to find out about all the types of new music out there in the Caribbean. I also am into fashion and clothes so seeing how other places of the world dress will be exciting to find out about. I like to make people laugh and bring smiles to people faces. I guess that is all there really is to say about me.

The story the Cotton Candy could relate in similar way due to the girl (Lola) in that story wanting ...
