The past week and a half has been FILLED with absolutely AMAZING & lifelong memories. I cannot believe how much I've grown in the past 2 months I have worn my crown.
The night before I left for Nationals, I spent the night with Debbi in Rhode Island watching Miss Junior Teen Rhode Island- World Sydney at her dance recital! I was stunned at how good she is at such a young age. She is the sweetest thing & I had such a blast. I even got to a chance to catch up with my favorite host, Barbi Jo!!
The next day I boarded the plane with Debbi, Miss Teen Rhode Island-World Dana, And Miss Teen Maine-World Julia as we left for Houston, Texas to compete for Miss Teen United States-World.
I couldn't have imagined the week better if I tried. I truly met the most beautiful, hard-working, determined group of girls in the country. Although we were exhausted, we busted our butts to make the pageant a success. Gaspar Cruz along with his staff did an incredible job. The week feels like it was a dream it went by so quickly! I met so many people I know will be a part of my life for a long time. From rehearsals to lunch's to 3:30 AM hair & makeup, we all did it and every contestant deserved their state title.
I was very fortunate to not only get called for top 15, but top 10, & win community service! Never did I imagine at my first National competition I would be standing on stage as a finalist. The beautiful Belle Owen, Miss Teen Kentucky-World took home the crown & I couldn't think of anyone more deserving! It's so comforting knowing we have such an amazing young girl representing the United States at the international pageant next month. I went home on cloud 9 and haven't quite come off since! I couldn't thank my parents, sponsors, director, and coach enough for preparing me 110% and guiding me to always be myself and do my best; I love you guys so much!
All of my United States-World girls, you have no idea how much you impacted my life in such a short amount of time. I will never forget your beautiful faces and all of the incredible things you do for our country. I am confident is saying I met the most amazing girls EVER, and if you ever take a trip to Massachusetts, you know who to call! <3 you girls!!
The day after we flew back from the pageant I jumped right back into reality and stayed the night in Rhode Island to make an appearance at the air show. It was so much fun and so rewarding to talk to people who serve our country. Everyone was so nice and so willing to give us tours of the planes. We signed many autographs and even walked away with some new friends.
As always, I've had the most memorable days ever. I still am stunned by the people I meet and new adventures I find myself on. Starting tomorrow I'll be running a fundraiser at a carnival for Epilepsy Awareness along with for a beautiful little girl going through a tough battle, Bella Tucker. I will be joined by many other title-holders and volunteers. Lets see how much we can raise!
Until then I'm Your Miss Teen Massachusetts-World
