Ariel Cornelius
There is a phrase that describes this featured beauty clearly. “Meekness is not weakness. It is power under control.”
She is one of those teenagers you interact with, and she touches your heart. The one that will go out of her way to greet you with a hug, not knowing how much you may have needed that on a rainy day.
I have watched this beauty grow from a little baby into the sweetest young lady. She has a gentle, humble spirit, and a smile that will light up a room. Her name is Ariel Nicole Cornelius.
It is a joy to watch young ladies like Ariel not only discover how beautiful they are, but also embracing that beauty within and challenging themselves by bettering the world around them with their gifts and talents.
Ariel loves anime and comic books. Unlike most young ladies I know, she knows the difference between Marvel and DC. Ariel is an inspired writer and dancer with tap being her favorite genre. I am fortunate to watch Ms. Cornelius discover the many layers of talent and beauty she possesses on the inside of her. I am excited to see her uncover those talents and continue to blossom into a gorgeous, strong and magnificent woman.
Here is her view of beauty.
Q: WHAT IS BEAUTY TO YOU?
Beauty is not only what’s based on the outside, but it is how you treat and respect others even when they don’t deserve it.
Q: WHAT ABOUT YOURSELF DO YOU NOT LIKE & WHAT ABOUT YOURSELF DO YOU LOVE?
I don’t really find myself that beautiful. I do however love my personality and my hobbies. Things like that.
Q: WHAT ONE THING ARE YOU WORKING ON TO BECOME A BETTER YOU?
I am working on seeing myself the way God sees me, and not comparing myself to other people.
Q: WHO DO YOU ADMIRE MOST IN THIS WORLD (dead or alive, famous or not) HOW DO THEY INSPIRE YOU?
My mom and my sister. They help me become a better person and help me with my self-esteem.
Q: WHAT DO YOU ADMIRE MOST ABOUT OTHER WOMEN?
How they look I guess. Their curly hair and how they can wear it out and natural.
Q: VOICES COME IN MANY FORMS. WHAT DO YOU WANT THE WORLD TO HEAR AND SEE WHEN WITNESSING YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE?
I want the world to hear and see my voice through my writings and my storytelling. I believe that I’m called to be a writer and spread God’s Word through that.
She is gorgeous, she’s radiant, and she’s lovely.
Beauty comes in all forms, shades, and sizes.
