Nikolas Pabla is a junior at Mission San Jose High School. This is his second year with TBC, and he plays the alto saxophone. He would love to live in a coastal city in California where the mountains meet the ocean. The weather is amazing almost all year round, which means he could be outside whenever he wants without worrying too much about extreme cold or heat. California also has basically everything you could ever ask for — beaches, big cities, nature, great food, and tons of things to do. Plus, having places like Disneyland nearby just adds to the fun and makes it feel like there’s always something exciting within reach. If he could time travel, he would visit the 1990s. He thinks it would be cool to experience life before smartphones took over, when people hung out more in person and music, movies, and fashion had a totally different vibe. He’d want to see what everyday life actually felt like back then. He would choose to speak with eagles. He likes the idea of hearing stories from a creature that sees the world from thousands of feet in the air. Eagles travel far, see everything, and symbolize freedom, which makes them a pretty powerful animal to connect with.
