Miss Michigan Pre-Teen has had an Awesome Year Representing NAM!
They say
time flies when you're having fun, and fun is exactly what I had! After winning the 2016 Michigan Preteen title
I have been blessed to attend many events and volunteer opportunities. Some of my favorite memories were volunteering
with my sister queens at the Ronald McDonald house, riding in the Woodward
Dream Cruise, attending the International Auto Show, attending the Michigan
State Fair and making new friends as visiting royalty at other state pageants.
The most
exciting experience was heading to nationals in sunny California to compete for
the National Title! At Nationals I
competed in Photogenic, Casual Wear, and Volunteer Service. My favorite things were the themed rehearsals
where I won a spirit stick for my patriotic wear, the Car drawing, Thanksgiving
Dinner and heading to Disney for the day.
They truly felt like a queen!
A special
thank you to God, for giving me the strength and confidence to always chase my
dreams. My State and National directors
who were always there to assist when needed.
To the entire NAM staff for all that you do to create such a great
program for young girls to build confidence.
To my sister queens for all the laughs and good times during our reign,
you will always hold a special place in my heart. To my family who has always been there for me
every step of the way. I love you more
than you know.
A note to
the contestants competing this weekend.
Stay confident, smile, and have fun! This weekend will fly by so
remember to take lots of pictures to look back on. Most importantly, even if you don’t walk away
with the title, you will walk away with so much more. You will make new friends, memories, and gain
confidence just by being here. Always
remember to hold your head high and be yourself.

Always,
