Oh The Places You'll Go

The car is loaded and the GPS is set; I am headed home to Hot Springs, Arkansas! It has been one amazing weekend here in Norman, Oklahoma! It was such a joy to get to see my Vanbros family again, and to watch the crowning of the two brand new Vanbros queens! Congratulations to Cherokee Pierce on winning Miss Oklahoma Teen USA 2015, and Olivia Jordan on winning Miss Oklahoma USA 2015!

Having the title of Miss Arkansas Teen USA has given me the opportunity to travel to many different places! Three weeks ago, I was in Charleston, Virginia for the Miss Virginia Teen USA and Miss Virginia USA pageants. Two weeks ago, I was in Washington, DC for the Listen to Our Voices Symposium, and this weekend I was in Norman, Oklahoma! Next month, I will be flying to Miami, Florida for the Miss Universe pageant!

Traveling has opened up many doors and opportunities for me, as well as made me think about my future and where I would like to live one day. One of my goals with my title is to travel to as many different states during my reign. I want to see the amazing country that I live in! All the way from California to New York! I am up to 5 in just a few months!  

Dr. Seuss said in one of his famous books, Oh the Places You’ll Go: “You’ll be on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights! You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights!” I am 18 years old, with the most amazing title. I can go anywhere and be anything, and having the opportunity to travel so many places has really shown me that. Through traveling, I get to see so many amazing sights! I would love to live in New York, or Los Angeles, and I hope that sometime in the near future I can take a trip to those places! I know that there are so many places my life will take me, and that is an adventure I am beyond excited to be starting.
