Niko is the middle child out of 7 siblings. Although he is one of the youngest, he is the leader of the 4 youngest. Niko has been going through a rough transition, due to missing his home and his parents. However, he has demonstrated resilience and bravery. His strength is in the power of great articulation for his age. He speaks clearly and advocates not only for himself, but also for his siblings as well. He already demonstrates leadership and social justice skills at daycare by establishing sharing times amongst his schoolmates.
