Standing at 6-foot-2 and wearing Cornell gear so comfortably it looks like a second skin, there is little doubt on first appearance that senior Nicholle Aston is an athlete. But look closer and you’ll see something else.

You will see the well-rounded, well-adjusted person that Aston has become during her time at Cornell.
What you won’t see is the years of internal struggle that brought her to where she is now. Click To Read More.....https://spark.adobe.com/page/GYoTLAbNVRtTP/?w=0_8472
