About Niceto
When you first meet Niceto, it’s clear he’s someone who pays attention—not just to details, but to people, ideas, and the world around him. Thoughtful and expressive, Niceto is the kind of young person who knows who he is and isn’t afraid to share it. He describes himself as smart and outgoing, and those qualities shine through in the way he speaks, the things he creates, and the goals he’s set for his future. A naturally curious teen, Niceto thrives in environments where learning and creativity intersect. He’s found a strong sense of belonging at his current school, which he considers a second family, a reflection of how much he values stability and connection. Greek mythology has recently captured his interest, and when he’s not reading or learning something new, Niceto enjoys knitting, editing videos, and making comics. His artistic side also shows up in his dream to become a digital artist in advertising—an ambition that blends his creativity with his interest in design and storytelling.
Niceto enjoys playing video games in his free time and stays active by participating in basketball and soccer. He hopes to get involved with organized teams, including track, as another outlet for his energy and love of movement. Whether he’s with friends or on his own, Niceto tends to seek out experiences that are both engaging and calm. An adult close to him says, “Niceto is caring, smart, and inquisitive. He is able to advocate for himself and express what he wants for himself and his future.” A steady environment helps him feel secure and focused, and he responds well to spaces where he can be heard and respected. Niceto is proud of his heritage and is eager to learn more about it. His favorite holidays—Kwanzaa, Three Kings Day, and Christmas—reflect a sense of culture and tradition that he carries with pride. His ability to self-reflect and articulate his needs is one of his many strengths; he communicates clearly, advocates for himself, and is open about what he wants for his life and future.
For Niceto, the right family will be one that values calm, connection, and creativity. He would do well with an experienced and trauma informed parent or parents who can support him with both consistency and empathy. He would like to live in an urban environment, as it would provide him with the most opportunity to connect with others. A home with pets, especially cats or dogs, would be a welcome bonus. Niceto would prefer a family with cultural similarities, as well. Most importantly, Niceto needs a family who will take the time to understand him, celebrate his strengths, and walk alongside him as he builds the future he envisions for himself.
