What a Year it has been for The 2012 Miss South Texas PreTeen Ashley Crawford !

Wow, what an incredible year it has been for me!  When my name was announced as the new National American Miss South Texas Pre-teen Queen, I felt so many emotions….Happy, Shocked, Excited….It is a moment I will never forget!  I couldn’t believe I won my very first time trying NAM.  

During my year of reign, I was able to give back to my community in many ways.  I collected donations for Emily’s Smile Boxes and delivered them to sick children and their siblings in local children’s hospitals.  I also participated in Dance for a Cure, Houston Rockets Run, Relay for Life, and many other charitable events.  

In November, I got to travel to Nationals in California.  We went on a Hollywood tour, played at Disneyland, had fun rehearsals, danced at the 60’s party, hung out with friends, and of course competed on the National stage!  I came home with 2 national titles…Miss Photogenic and Most Promising Model.  I also placed top 10 in the nation, 1^st Runner Up in Casual Wear and 2^nd Runner Up in Best Resume.

To all of the girls competing this year, Good luck to each and every one of you!  Remember to smile, relax, and just be YOU!   I would like to thank everyone at NAM for creating an organization that focuses on building self-confidence and setting goals for young ladies.  To my successor, enjoy every single moment and take lots of pictures!
