The Champion High School Majorettes :) Beautiful girls!
Mrs. Magiassos and Me :) My high school calculus teacher!
Hey everyone! I have been super busy preparing for my journey to Miss USA! :) I leave this coming friday, April 3rd. I am soooo excited and proud to represent OHIO!!! This past monday, my high school (Champion High School) had a pep rally send off for me before I leave for Vegas. It was an honor to go back to my high school and have the support of so many wonderful people who have been behind me every step of the way. When I arrived, the majorettes were twirling as the band played the fight song as the students gathered in the auditorium. I was a majorette in high school, and I also was a member of the band so it was so nice to have them there.
Three of my high school teachers spoke--Mr. Fisher, my physics and chemistry teacher; Mrs. Magiassos, my algebra and calculus teacher; and Mr. Peacock, my pre-calculus teacher :) They all pushed me to believe in myself and helped me grow as a person, and their words were so inspirational and meant the world to me. Thank you for everything!
Ohio State Representative Tom Letson presented me with a proclamation. A representative from Congressman Tim Ryan's Office presented me with a resolution as well. It was an honor to meet them. With Ohio's strong leadership, we will get through the hard times our families are facing. Thank you for all of your support!
After the pep rally, I signed autographs for some of the students and had a short interview with Channel 27 news. I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else but CHS for my send off before Miss USA. The students were awesome, and I look forward to visiting again after Miss USA. :)
A special thanks to A.C. and Champion High School for all of your support! Go Flashes!!!
To the band, Mr. C and the Champion Majorettes--Thank you!! I'll never forget all the memories from years of being in the band and a majorette :)
