A couple weeks ago I was delighted to be given the opportunity to be a part of the Tumwater Tree Lighting. It was an honor to meet the mayor of Tumwater, Ralph Osgood, who later in the day let me flip the switch to light the tree. I spent the day being co-emcee and announcing the musical performances and drawing raffle ticket winners. I even got to sign autographs with my new signature cards!
Last Monday I went to Yelm High School, the school I graduated from, and talked to the health classes about my platform, Diabetes Awareness. Thank you very much Mr. Clinton and Miss. King-Taylor for allowing me to speak to every period that day. It was really refreshing to be able to talk to high school students about my platform that I care about a lot. My little sister, Alicia was in two of the classes I spoke with. They asked a lot of fun questions, it was almost like I was in my pageant interview all over again! I learned from this appearance that I really like to do public speaking. I learned about relating my platform to different age groups. It was a really invigorating experience and I am grateful I had this opportunity to raise awareness of Diabetes in my community.
Due to the snow I hadn’t had any other events, but I did get teeth whitening from a sponsor of the program! Thanks Dr. Bailey!
It’s nice to have some time off on this Christmas Day. The snow is sadly melting, but at least people are able to revert back to normal and travel wherever life may take them. Merry Christmas! Check out this beautiful necklace my sister gave me!! It love love love it!!! Best Christmas present!
