Hello everyone, as you may have noticed my name is Elesha Cole. My name derived from the ending of my mother’s first name (Felesha), which I had no decision of making. I am nineteen years old and I am from Atlanta Georgia, more specifically the area of Decatur. I graced the world with my presence on May 23, 1995, a beautiful spring day in the city of Atlanta. I was born to Eric and Felesha Cole, two supportive parents who I truly cherish with all my heart. Throughout my entire life they’ve been the ones who have motivated me to accomplish my goals. My family are the ones who stop me from giving up when things are not going so great. When I recently became an aunt in 2013, of my two beautiful nieces and nephew, I realized things were no longer just about me; Words cannot describe how proud I am to be their aunt, I just hope one day they will see it through all the love I’ll give them over time. I am also motivated by my desire for the finer things in life.

At an early age I fell in love with dance, I had my first dance lesson at the age of 5 and I continued with that same passion until my freshman year of college. I recently took a step back from dancing to focus on my studies, but I plan to continue again after graduation as a dancer for the Atlanta Falcons. I recently decided to take a step toward to becoming independent, by getting a job at Footlocker in the Valdosta Mall. I started off my freshman year a tad bit rough, I gained a GPA of a 2.8 which was a big hit for me. So I decided to change things around and I earned myself a GPA of 3.4 which landed me on the Dean’s list. As a sophomore at Valdosta State University, I am majoring in chemistry with plans to pursue a career as a pharmacist. With this career I will be able to provide a financially stable and luxurious lifestyle for myself and my family. By the age of 26 I plan to have an established career, be married, and have a family of my own. All in all, I just want to be successful and live comfortably.
