Hey Maren
I know when Nicole left she was walking into such a bad situation, one that was worse than the one she was in when she got her. Her mom was pregant,and if you remember Nicole's mom they had role reversals where Nicole was more of the mom, and mom the daughter. Nicole hadn't graduated high school yet.
I really think if she grad high school and had a college to go to away from cicero she at least might of had a chance. I guess for all I know she could be in college. Nicole was one of the more talented people I have met in my life time
Hope your doing good Maren :wave:
