As the summer abruptly comes to and end, I can't help but think about how much I have experienced in such a short amount of time. Summer is a time to relax, a time to keep old friends & make new friends. But most importantly, summer gives you a chance to be someone you haven't been before. You not buried underneath books & school work, or cliques and sports. You choose your journey, & wouldn't have changed my summer 2010 for the world.
Living these past few months as a title holder has given me the experience to travel all around Massachusetts, Rhode Island, & even Texas! Everything I have done since graduation has been more beneficial than anything else in my life. I've always said life's journey is it's destination, and I've never felt so confident & proud of my journey.
Going to Texas, I had so many crazy thoughts in my mind. I was going to a National pageant, I was representing my state, I had a shot of becoming Miss Teen United States World. What a way to begin your vacation! I look back at the week full of memories like it was yesterday, and still am missing all of the beautiful faces of girls I met throughout the country, and the experience all together. I came home placing top 10 & winning community service! Now that's a way to kick off vacation if you ask me.
Since then, it has been endless fun. I have had so many appearances that I wouldn't have traded for the world. From digging in the sand for keys to a car with Pro FM radio, to holding fundraisers for causes to dear to my heart; epilepsy awareness & the extraordinary Bella Tucker. I made Rhode Island my second home, and spent so much time there! I waved to fans during parades while showing my spirit for the USA, and I crowned countless 5 year old's the new Miss Teen Massachusetts- World during picture sessions.
Whenever I wasn't too tied up with my hectic life, I spent every waking moment with friends & family. I watched my friends grow, and get ready to venture off into college. I laughed so many laughs with the people who have been in my life for what it seems like forever. It's crazy to think after spending so many years with the same group of people, reality strikes & keeps you moving through life. I have a place in my heart for every single classmate in the class of 2010, and I always will.
As I say my goodbyes to summer, I open my arms to an entirely new chapter of life, college. Although I still have my title, & I still have my friends & family, things will being to change. I've always been told to welcome life's transitions with arms wide open.. and I will maintain this attitude through the next 4 years.
Until my next appearance arises with my Massachusetts queens who this summer have also grown into family, so long summer. You have been amazing, every single second. & I can move on with my future knowing the summer of 2010 is one I will never, ever forget.
Your Miss Teen Massachusetts- World
