Destined for greatness, Kara Nichols was a teen full of personality, ambition and like many others her age, a hint of rebellion, too.
Showing an interest in the arts since a young age, in her Colorado, US, family home, Kara’s parents Julia and Paul Nichols were used to the kitchen table ladened with supplies – with Kara completing a range of arts and crafts projects.
Also, with Kara and her mum volunteering at the local humane society in their free time, it was known that Kara used to beg the supervisors to let her pet the puppies before going home.
Which of course led to the family eventually ending up with a furry friend, Goldie.
