Senior Spotlight: Nickolaus Ober
Launch the media gallery 1 playerA little baby boy named Nickolaus Ray Ober was welcomed into the world on May 20th, 1999, in Columbus, Nebraska. Nickolaus’s proud parents are Alex Ober and Chris Brown.
Nick is the oldest of his two siblings. His brothers are Jason Ober, now 16, and Darian Ober Brown, now 13.
Nick is the proud owner of three dogs, named Max, Muddy, and Toby; five cats, named Serena, Tasha, Annabelle, Juju, and Smoke; and many rabbits (although his favorite is named Peanut Butter). Someday, he also hopes to add a lizard to his collection of beloved pets.
Nick just joined Leigh High School during the first quarter this year. He previously attended Columbus Public High School.
Nickolaus’s proudest high school accomplishment was helping the State Runner-Up One Act team this past year. Nick is also proud of increasing his involvement in extracurricular activities in high school.
Nick has many dreams for the future. He wants to someday either become a highly skilled tattoo artist, a chef that serves the most exquisite sandwiches, or a professional drag racer. In 10-15 years, Nickolaus sees himself with a bunch of tattoos and living the high life in Florida with his wife and two kids.
If Nick ever won a fortune in the lottery, he intends to buy a house in Florida as well as a 1964 Dodge Charger. If given the opportunity to travel anywhere in the world, Nick would travel to Australia to ride kangaroos. His bucket list also includes learning how to speak Japanese and travelling to not only Australia, but Tokyo as well.
Meeting Mrs. Sherry Hathaway and everyone at Leigh High are Nick’s favorite high school memories. He also fondly recalls a time where he earned an A+ on his artwork and a nightstand he made. Nick also loves going to a new school and meeting all the nice people that greet him as he passes through the hallways. His most embarrassing moment would have to be when he tripped and fell in front of the whole school!
Nick’s favorite subject in school is Culinary Arts with Mrs. Hillen, and his favorite TV show is “The Flash.” In his spare time, he can also be found cheering on his favorite sports team, the Denver Broncos, and eating some of his favorite foods, brats and lasagna.
Nick loves hanging out with his friends, but the person he admires most in his life is his grandpa. He said that his grandpa “has always been there for him.”
To sum up this unique senior, the three words that best describe Nickolaus Ober would be “fun,” “kind,” and “loyal.” As Nick’s senior year is coming to a close, he leaves a bit of advice for the underclassmen, “Once you’ve accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.”
