Hey Y'all!
I am so, so happy that I am finally doing this and getting to put my experiences and the journeys I have been through out there so everybody can read about it!
Let me start off by introducing myself! My name is Danielle Clardy and I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC. I have literally lived here my entire life and could never imagine growing up and living any place different! My best friend is my younger sister Hailey and she truly is my best friend because she really gets me and we do everything together! But along with her is her boyfriend Kyle who is also my best friend and makes me laugh all the time. My parents are sadly divorced and it has truly been a rollercoaster for the past 3 years. Looking back at it now though I could never imagine my parents getting back together or our family still being together like it had been for so long. But my mom and dad are still there for me through whatever and I have been really grateful to learn new things about each of them and grow new relationships with each of them.
My two best friends.... My sister Hailey and her boyfriend Kyle!
I truly have the greatest family known to man even though they are crazy, but they are my crazy! My grandparents on both sides of my family are really great but my Mimi really is one of those people that I go to for everything and has really been there through it all. Now something unique about my moms side of the family is that all 8 of us grandchildren are girls! And if I could draw a family tree for y'all I would but it would be so complicated and big that nobody would be able to understand it!
I am currently a sophomore at East Carolina University but that might be changing soon just have to wait and see where the journey takes me! But the one great thing about going here is the FOOTBALL!! We might not always have the greatest team but we are so passionate about football and this is definitely a football town! The energy in Dowdy- Ficklen Stadium is incredible and everybody is always ready to make some noise and support our team no matter what!
I have accomplished a lot of things and worked hard for everything that I have done. I have ran 8 half-marathons (13.1 miles) and done a Tough Mudder all before I turned 18. I love a good challenge and don't back down from anything. I have plans to do bigger and bigger things and achieve more challenges than ever before!
Now if you ever see me you will notice that I am always in Nike shorts and a t-shirt because that is what I am comfortable in but I do dress up and love to look nice! I am a fashion girl on top of being an athlete and even though I may not look like one, I work hard. And even though I work hard doesn't mean I don't love to eat great food!
I can't wait to keep writing my journeys and experiences on here and let everybody get to know me, but most of all I hope everyone comes along on this journey with me!
Love, D
