What an Amazing Year for Miss Texas Jr. Pre-Teen Brooke Heath!



I had an amazing year as your Miss Texas Jr. Pre-Teen and am sad to see it coming to an end.  My time as a queen passed so quickly, but it has been nothing short of perfect. Soon it will be time to crown my successor and Iā€™m so excited for her.  My title has allowed me to serve as a role model for other girls and this was one of the greatest honors Iā€™ve ever had.  In doing so, I have become an active member of my community and met so many wonderful people.  Iā€™ve learned that what may seem like a small gesture on my part, can certainly be so much more to someone else.
I began my year by volunteering with Lunches of Love, a group that serves lunches to deserving children.  I also walked for a cure with Susan G. Komen in honor of my Nana who passed away from breast cancer when I was very small.  I dumped ice cold water on my head to benefit ALS research and wore a red nose to fight childhood hunger. 
Last summer, I traveled to some other state pageants, including one in Dallas and New York.  In the fall, I had a fun filled photo shoot and also rode in a parade in Galveston with many of my sister queens.  Following that, I headed off to sunny California to attend Nationals.  I reunited with many of my friends across the country there and did my absolute best ā€“ I had a great time.  I returned home knowing I had represented Texas well and brought with me many trophies, some of which included: 4th runner up actress, 3rd runner up photogenic, 3rd runner up most promising model and 1st runner up best thank you note.  Lastly, this spring, I attended several open calls and training sessions where I met girls so enthused to begin their journey with NAM.  They are so lucky and have no idea how much this amazing pageant system will benefit them!
I must thank those that have contributed to making my year unforgettable.  The NAM staff is the best ever and will always have a special place in my heart.  My sister queens are NAMily to me and forever will be.  Last, but not least, my family; including my parents, sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who I know have always supported me.  My sister Stephanie has taught me more than she or I can ever realize and is definitely my best friend.  My mom and dad continue to always be my biggest fans and bring out the best in me.  I can always hear them cheering for me when Iā€™m on stage.
To all of you competing this year in NAM or even those just thinking about it ā€“ remember to always have fun and just be yourself ā€“ the rewards from that will automatically follow.  A huge smile on your face and a friendly attitude can never be overlooked and will benefit you well beyond pageant weekend.  
Good luck and God Bless! 
I am and forever will be your 2014 Miss Texas Jr. Pre-Teen,

Brooke Heath
