Well where do I begin? I'm 23 years young, live for every moment I have, and believe I have many, many years ahead of me. I have truly lived a blessed life surrounded by amazing family and friends and have been given many opportunities I could never have dreamed for myself. My parents have been truly wonderful through my entire life and support me in every way, even when they think I'm crazy. I'm inspired by many things in life, and I notice the beauty in everything even when others don't. My personality is very optimistic, unless you catch me on a bad day. I love to smile and laugh all the time, always hoping I can brighten someone else's day by making them smile or laugh in return. This would make me a big goofball, shameless about what other's may think. You only live one, be silly and enjoy every moment.
There are many things I love in my life. Music is one major player on my heart. I love and appreciate all kinda of music, and scrolling through my iTunes you will be surprised as to what you may find. My heart belongs to the decades of the 50's, 60's, and 70's, convinced I was born in the wrong era. Therefore I have an absolute obsession with The Beatles and a bunch of other music from those decades. John Mayer is another key player in my heart, along with the Goo Goo Dolls, Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Michael Buble, Blake Shelton, and Keith Urban just to name a few. I also let loose with some hip hop, especially my girl Nicki Minaj. You should have gotten a clue somewhere along the line that I also love to travel (a travel blog, hmm I wouldn't have known!) I love working out, eating healthy, and reading. I love beautiful starry nights and taking really pretty pictures. I love summer and going to concerts with friends. There really is just a lot to love in life.
I've been blessed with many talents, like being able to be a great public speaker and recieve my Bachelor's degree in Communications. I also have a wonderful talent to dance, ever since the young age of 4. Dance is something in my life that I consider a passion. Whenever I dance I feel so unbelievably happy. I'm in another world and it brings so much joy to my life. During my college years I was able to dance for my school year round on the different dance teams and dance companies we had. The one thing in my life that can always make me smile and cheer up whenever I'm down.
I'm also a very proud member of my sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, where I've grown to become a leader, a sister, and a hard worker. Our philanthropy is Breast Cancer Awareness, and we do so much to give back to the community. Each year we hold our annual cheerleading exhibition where we raise thousands of dollars in just one day for Breast Cancer Awareness. A lot of our sisters, myself included, had the opportunity to donate breast tissue and a cancer research center to help find a possible cure for this horrible disease. I truly believe that one day a cure will be found. I believe that my sisters and I are making a difference everyday for this cause.I live a great life, even through the ups and the downs, and wouldn't trade anything for what I have. I am currently a Speech Pathology student, wanting to help others with their speech disorders (another thing I truly love). Although if I ever did get the opportunity to make a career out of traveling and writing or talking about, I would do that in a heart beat. I live a very unique life, and it is amazing.
