I am... Noelle. twenty. Clearwater born. Charlotte raised. a lady. a student. a beach bum. an aspiring artist. a kid at heart. a Florida baby. a city girl. a dog lover. a softball player. a terrible cook. a good friend. a big sister. a mother's daughter. an Elon phoenix. a Duke basketball fan. Italian. tough. loyal. happy. classy. lovable. sarcastic. trustworthy. independent. strong-willed. free-spirited. low maintenance. hot-headed. easy-going... but very stubborn. I like... olives. smiling. sleeping. eggplant. warm fires. the night sky. nature walks. writing poems. feeding ducks. painting outside. jumping in puddles. laying on the beach. giggling with babies. having heart-to-hearts. hiking in the mountains. getting letters in the mail. being kissed on the forehead. volunteering with special children. watching lightning in thunderstorms. randomly dancing in public when I'm happy. I want... to be loved. to earn respect. to change lives. to love unconditionally. to make my grandfather proud. I'm not... fake. Southern. ready to grow up. your average girl.
