This fall, Nora will head to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study biology, with plans for a career in medicine.
Nora has a heart for helping others find their strengths and live full lives. She coaches differently-abled students in soccer and flag football through the Unified program at school. She is also a captain of the varsity soccer team and represents her classmates as co-student body president.
Nora is close to her family which includes her parents, an older sister and two pet ducks. The ducks know their names and get excited when she brings their favorite treat: frozen peas.
Before Nora heads to UNC, her family will gather around a bonfire for their annual end-of-summer s’mores contest. It’s a competition to see who can make the most creative and delicious s’more. Past entries include salted caramel, apple cinnamon and lemon meringue. Last summer, Nora won with her Samoa s’more, inspired by the Girl Scout cookie with coconut, caramel and chocolate.
This family definitely thinks outside the [graham cracker] box!
