MOOT 2013

Its getting closer and closer to the week of the pageant! I do believe there are only 25 more days until the week starts. Very exciting! This year has gone my so fast and I can hardly believe its almost time to compete. The part that I am looking forward to the most, is seeing all my pageant sisters. A big part of this program is that we are so close. During the week it doesn't even cross my mind that we are competing against each other, because everyone is so supportive. At this time I'm tweaking the last of my talent, finding the last bit of my wardrobe, and finding every opportunity I can to get as much interview practice as possible. I want to thank everyone who is helping me to be as prepared as possible for this week that is to come.

Hemophilia Walk 2013

April 20th was the third annual Hemophilia Walk! I was the team leader for TEAM H.E.L.P. We raised a total of $3,045 and came in 5th place for the overall top fundraisers on the day of the walk. I had a blast at this event and it was fun for the kids especially, with blowups, face painters, bouncy houses and a dunk tank to name a few. This is a really easy way to get involved and help impact the hemophilia community. In order to come closer to finding a longer lasting treatment or even a cure will not be possible without the community's help. I want to say a special thanks to HPC. This is a pharmaceutical and home-help company and they were my main sponsor for this event. I strongly encourage everyone  to be a part of this event for the upcoming yearbecause knowing you can make a difference is something you can treasure forever.

Contestants Day!

Today was Contestants Day! It is a day that all contestants competing for Miss Oklahoma, and Miss Oklahoma's Outstanding Teen get together and show their talent and find out the last bit of details we need to know about the pageant. You get to meet new friends and see old friends you made last year. This is one of my friends, Summer Stolz, and she is Miss Green Country's Outstanding Teen 2013. I met her last year at the pageant, and I had a blast being her Secret Sister(an assigned gift giver)! I believe that this pageant system is about building relationships, and growing up to be the BEST young woman you can be. Being in this system you experience so many things that people my age would not normally do. I know that I learn and grow every day from being a part of this pageant system, and it has shaped me into the person I am today. I LOVE being a part of  MOOT.

This is my second time to be a Team Leader, and so far we have raised over $4,OOO. But I need your help to reach my goal of $6,000! All funds go to Hemophilia families in need and also the research to find cure. All you need to do is click on the tab "Join our Team!" and donate. Its really simple and will only take a few minutes.

My Hero

My brother Kyle getting infused after a hip injury. Every time he gets hurt he has to do this. They are injecting Factor into his body, so his blood will clot and heal the injury. My brother is the one who inspired me to come up with my platform H.E.L.P.(Hemophilia Education Leadership Program), and so far I have raised over $4,000 for research and development at a  local and national level. And the funny thing is, I am terrified of needles. Thats why he is my hero.

Mr. Broken Arrow Pageant

I made an appearance at Mr. Broken Arrow on October 30th. I had so much fun! Congratulations to Adam for taking the title. :) Here is a picture of me with the winner.

Veteran's Day Event

This was such a great event hosted by one of the Broken Arrow sponsors. At this event we greeted and thanked veteran's for their service while they were treated to a free lunch at Applebee's. This is just one of the many opportunities that I have had as Miss Broken Arrow's Outstanding Teen and I look forward to sharing all of the opportunities that I have with the Miss Grand Lake's Outstanding Teen Pageant. Here are some pictures from that day.
