Profile story (nicolas cobas gomez)

Flying over to the United States from his hometown Madrid, Spain, Nicolas Cobas Gomez ’26, started a new chapter of his life this school year.
Cobas’ parents wanted him to come to the U.S. to have many opportunities and to learn about the culture. 
Cobas said that his old school was “100 times bigger,” and that at North Cross, it is more practical. He said that at his old school the students use textbooks more than teaching the children themselves. Cobas talks about missing his old school and how even though he likes North Cross,. 
He also misses his family, friends and girlfriend very much. Although, people aren’t the only thing that he misses. Cobas states that he misses the big parties in Spain very much, as well as the traditional Spanish cuisine. 
This is not all for this international student, he is also a very good tennis player who has been participating in the sport since the young age of 6.
Cobas’ wishes that he could meet Kidd Keo if he could meet anyone in the world. Kidd Keo, who was mentioned earlier in the interview, is one of Cobas’ favorite artist. As well as, RAP, Duki and Anuel AA. Besides listening to his favorite type of music, Cobas enjoys occupying his free time by playing video games. He said that he is entertained by any type of shooting game, such as Call of Duty or Counter Strike 2.
