Many people have goals that they wish to complete in their lifetimes. For some that is to succeed in school and get a successful job, and for others it is to carry on their family business. For Ashley Swinford’s goal in life is to be happy and continue to enjoy life to the best of her abilities. Her carefree nature causes her to live by such sayings as, “If it’s meant to be, it will happen.” Quotes such as this are what keep her going day by day.
Ashley is very passionate about traveling and seeing the world. She expressed an interest in going to France and Ireland the most, but she seemed passionate about traveling anywhere to experience what life and this world have to offer. She already has a good list of different states and countries she’s visited, including Canada, Florida and Georgia. When first meeting Ashley, she immediately wins you over with her cheerful attitude and friendly nature. A new potential friend will immediately see that she is a caring and respectful person. This, along with her constant and cheerful laugh, will make any person open up to her in a trusting and positive manner.
On first glance, Ashley is like any college student. She enjoys playing Xbox, particularly Gears of War, and likes music and movies. She has a deep passion for football and NASCAR, which she expressed was caused by her Southern upbringing. Jokingly she told me, “My dad is a Southern redneck, so that was bound to rub off on me growing up.” As family is important to her, it is a definite that she will be bidding on some of the upcoming NASCAR auctions that are featured on the NASCAR site. However, beneath all of those normal interests, she has achieved many goals in her life and has talents that she is passionate for.
When she was little, Ashley tried many variations of dance, including jazz and tap, but as she entered high school she found an interest in her high school’s drill team. Through her hard work and dedication, she became a lieutenant as a senior on the drill team dance squad and even had the opportunity to dance solo. When asked if she was nervous during such a big event in life, she said, “No, it is what I enjoy doing, and it was within my comfort zone.” Many people should meet someone such as Ashley Swinford because it is important to have such an optimistic and driven friend in anyone’s life.
