About Me
Ok...its been a while since I have updated this about me thing... so here 'goes: My name is Nieves, and I am a senior at WOHS. I tend to be very modest when it comes to a lot of things. I wouldn't say I am quiet, but I definitely don't consider myself Mr. Popular. I keep to myself I guess. I've been told I am a down to earth person, and am a nice guy... too nice sometimes. Something I need to work on, I guess, is being more vocal about standing for what I want. I don't worry about it this year though, because, being Mr. Senior Drum Major this year, (woot woot), it should come out of me, because when it comes to music, I definitely know what I want. I am a perfectionist, and I believe it is a strength and weakness of mine. It has given me many accolades, as well as a few disappointments, and difficulties. I tend to put everything into things I love and have passion for, namely music, and anything that represents me. Currently, I plan on going to college to do what I think is what I want to do for the rest of life, share my passion and love for music as a teacher. Its done so much for me. I also want to be a graphic designer. It along with music, helps to express the way I feel. I've wondered about double majoring, if I couldnt minor in it. Hopefully I'll be studying either the University of Texas at Austin, UNC-Greensboro, UNC-Charlotte, or East Carolina University. I consider my family to be my closest friends, I don't know what I would do without them. My brother I'd have to say, is my best friend. My sister and I are close too. I am never ashamed to have my mom or dad around me, because they are cool. Some other things about me (you know nit=picky things): I HATE FEET. I dont really like flip flops. Emo is cool and not cool to me. I play saxophone, french horn, trumpet, flute, clarinet. I dont like sarcasm, but I hate blandness. I LOVE DCI!!! Carolina Crown, The Cavaliers, Phantom Regiment and the Bluecoats, are my favorite corps. I compose music. I've had a composition performed in front of a live audience before, and it was AWESOME. I hate eggs, pans, waffles, bacon, and most traditional breakfast food items. (ITS GOTTA BE MEXICAN!!!) My favorite food are my mom's homemade Enchiladas de Verde, or my own spaghetti. I get addicted sometimes to satellite imagery. I am designed/created and am webmaster to whiteoakband.com, a website for our marching band, and soon broadened to all of the music programs at White Oak. I also love cinematography, making videos and stuff. My favorite subject is band, but I also love science. I like football and tennis...I know, what a pair. I don't drink or smoke, never tried, and don't think I want to. I drive a red Dodge Ram 1500, which has grown on me tremendously since I got it. I [HATE x 10] math, ESPECIALLY AP Statistics. I'm Mexican American, and thats all I know of right now. I really dig meeting new people, especially getting to know them very well. I hate FAKE people, you know, people who act like your friends. I hate people who talk negatively about people for fun, it really bothers me. I consider myself moderately conservative; however, I consider myself open-minded to a lot more things than I thought. I Totally dig having intelligent conversations with people. I find it cool to dream about the future and stuff. TWILIGHT ZONE is awesome. I dislike spiders and snakes with a passion. I really can't hate, even though I might have said I hated things earlier in this about me.
