My name is Nikki Mason and I am nineteen years old. My birthday is July 12, 1989. My mother's name is Kathie Crippin and my father's name is Dan Mason. I was born in Shreveport, La. and lived there until I was ten years old with my mother, step-father, step-sister, and step-brother. I was also very close with my grandparents and my aunts. When my stepfather passed away, my mother and I then moved to Hilton Head Island, Sc. I went to high school at Hilton Head Island High School and graduated Dec 2007. My mother and I lived with only each other until she met her current boyfriend. They still live together. I now live in Clemson, Sc. and I am attending classes at Tri-County. When I am not studying for my classes, I like to read, go hiking, go swimming, and go shopping for items for my apartment. I also like to hang out with friends, and visit zoos and museums. The ocean is a big part of my life. I love going to the beach and relaxing, reading or playing volleyball with friends. I worked at Coligny Grill and Ice Cream Cone in Hilton Head for four years before quitting to take a servers job at Aunt Chiladas, which I worked for the summer before moving to Clemson, Sc. I now work at Ben and Jerry's in downtown Clemson. I enjoy restaurant jobs because I can talk to the customers. I am attending Tri-County to make a better future for myself. I love living in the South and plan on starting my family somewhere in the south. Before starting my family, however, I visit to travel and help people in third world countries.
