Miss Western Days is much more than a title, crown, and sash. During this past year, I have gained so many incredible experiences, memories, and friendships. Through representing our beautiful town of Elgin at various parades and events, I have found myself more involved in the community than ever before.
One of my favorite memories during this time is many younger girls looking up to me and hoping to be like me one day. I would like to thank my parents and family for giving me the opportunity to do this pageant, and always pushing me to do my best. I also want to thank my court for assisting in parades and maintaining the float. I would like to thank Mrs. Jodie Lopez, Mrs. Gena Carter, and Mrs. Sonia Browder for all of their support. Most importantly, I thank God for giving me the guidance and confidence to compete in this pageant.

Almost every american child has once tried ballet, soccer, karate, cooking, or something of that sort. In the beginning of our lives we try to find, or our parents try to find for us, a hobby, or a passion that we may take up for the rest of our lives, for me this passion was the girl scouts. As a young child I did not quite understand what the girl scouts were, I consumed my time searching for bugs, playing outside, and participating in other activities that any other spirited six year old would do.
