Hello everyone! One week ago today, my life changed. It still feels so surreal. I am incredibly grateful that I was given the honor of being named Miss Teen Nebraska 2015. I still find myself at a loss for words when people ask me what my feeling was at the exact moment.. When they said my name, I was in complete shock. God truly deserves all the glory. I remember when I first entered the pageant, I was scared. I was sort of shy, I wasn't necessarily the best public speaker, and I have never competed in a pageant before. I worked hard, and I saw a change in myself. I gained confidence, poise, and good communication skills. I was determined to be the best version of myself and I believe it showed. Saturday night, nerves were on high. I was shaking before going on stage, and practicing my poses non-stop. After I got to know the judges on Sunday, I was calm and excited. When the final performance came around, I prayed and prayed and prayed to God that everything I worked for would show on stage and no matter what the outcome was, I did the best I could with the abilities He gave me. Even before I went out on stage, I busted a silly move to relax and to remember to be myself. Being yourself is the most important aspect of life to carry with you. I cannot wait for the many memories to come this year, it is going to be a life changing experience and I am excited for what God has in store!
