Miss America's Outstanding Teen in Orlando, Florida! Day 4 and 5!


On Tuesday, the competition began! I had my interview that morning and honestly, I did my very best and felt good after I was done! We had more rehearasal, and that night I had fitness competition. I did my very best! I was so happy to see Tami, Jaylee, my mom, and Genevieve that night at visitation!
On Wednesday...MORE rehearsing. I had talent rehearsal and was able to talk to Jaylee for a couple of minutes. While in Florida, none of us were allowed to have our phones, we had security with us at ALL times, even when we went to the restrooms, so let me just say how thankful I am for my independence!!! I had talent competition Wednesday night.As I was waiting backstage to go on, I just kept thinking to myself that I have worked so hard for this, and have put forth so much effort, and then just realized that no matter if I won or not, I would still be greatly rewarded.. and I sure was! After I played my piece, I just started bawling.. ON STAGE! Because I was so happy with how I did. I honestly can't say I have played that car crash any better! Alabama won talent that night, and surprisingly, I felt SO fulfilled despite, because there's nothing I could have done better. And let me just say, Alabama DID do incredibly! At visitation, my parents, Matthew, Tami, Jaylee, and Gen were all there. I love them all so much and I could not have asked for a better cheering section! That night at dinner, Miss America came and before we went to get ready for the competition, we all said a huge prayer together and I couldn't really believe that I was actually praying with MISS AMERICA. She is such a poised, and absolutely stunning person.
