Name: Jessica "Figgy" Figueroa Age: 23 Current residence: Nashville, TN Occupation: Bartender Tribe designation: (Millennials) Three words to describe you: Adventurous, free spirit, and crowd pleaser. Hobbies: Kayaking, videography, and watching football. Pet peeves: When people are lazy and expect things to just happen. That's not what life is about. Get up and fight. '''What does it mean to be a Millennial? '''Being a Millennial means being blessed with an innovative and creative mind, and the world is at my fingertips. It's all there; I just have to make it happen. I work hard for where I want to be and for everything I have. Millennials get stuff done and work hard while throwing a good snap in our [Snapchat] stories every now and again. Personal claim to fame: Moving to Nashville and standing on my own two feet at a vulnerable moment in my life. Leaving all that you know for a city of unfamiliarity? Scary. That's why I'm ready for a bigger challenge. Survivor is the ultimate challenge. Inspiration in life: My mother. She did everything she could to make life for us okay, having gone through a very toxic relationship with our father. She showed me courage and strength in standing up for herself and showing us what we are worth. I admire her for that. '''If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? '''I'd bring a razor, a pair of water shoes—I'd rather not step on sea urchins, but if I must, I must—and a blanket. I don't consider that to be a survival item; I could use a tribe member for that. Survivor contestant you're most like: I love Stephenie LaGrossa. She's just so tough in so many ways and she's strategic. She shows some moments of weakness but, at the end of it, she is still a tough chick and she fights to stay alive. I admire her. Reason for being on Survivor: The challenge. I was brought up in a crazy household outside of the inner city with crime happening right outside our windows. I have had to fight for everything I have ever had in my life, and Survivor is the ultimate fight I want to take on. Mentally and physically, my strength is unreal. Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? Of course I'll survive. Why else would I even apply? I'm young and full of knowledge. I don't just go along for the ride; I'm a leader. I will lead my tribe and make it to the end with my lovable personality, my drive, and work ethic. It's destiny.
