Our Young Bloke – Nicholas Unger

May 27, 2022 By Maggi Barnard

Captain Parkes Christian School – Nicholas Unger

How old are you? 17. 

Were You Named After Anyone? No I don’t think so. 

What three things would you like to pack in your lunch box every day? Sweet and salty popcorn, Zinger Box, steak sandwich. 

If you could choose any job in the world, what would you do? To be a farmer.

If you could invent something, what would it be? Instant travel.

If you had to spend $10,000 today, how would you spend it? I was hoping for $100,000 to buy myself a chopped Landcruiser, but unfortunately $10,000 doesn’t quite cut it. So, I’d buy myself a new motorbike 

What is the scariest thing you’ve ever done? Flown on a plane. 

If you could meet any historical person, who would that be? The founders of John Deere, the machine manufacturing company, John Deere and Charles Deere. 

What makes you feel like dancing? Whenever I am in a happy mood.
