Hi I am Nikki Petrarca. I am a senior. My hobbies are writing short stories and poems, entering pageants, and singing. I do ballet as well. I do lots of volunteer work and getting myself out there because helping others within the community is something very important to me. I also have been creating my own nonprofit organization regarding my platform that I have turned into a social advocacy group.

I am currently a local and state titleholder for multiple pageant organizations. I am currently Miss Mahoning County Teen USA , Miss Teen Ohio Petite,  Miss Ohio Teen Captivating, and Miss Great Lakes Teen. I am formerly Miss Canfield Teen USA and Miss Teen Pennsylvania Petite. 

 I want to write for the newspaper to share my writing with others as it's something I love to do. I have so many ideas I would love to share and this is a great opportunity to do so. It is a great experience  to be able to have writing control and freedom to express different ideas.

My biggest future career aspirations is to become a politician and author. I would also love to be Miss USA one day as well. Something I want to accomplish is helping make a positive impact on not just my own community, but for everyone . Making a difference is something that I will hope to accomplish through my platform and hard work .
