May Events Continued

The fun continues...

I then attended Miss Michigan Day at the Capital. I met with Representative Forlini and we got into a great discussion about K2 and the possible legalization of medical marijuana, which directly relates to my platform...Above the Influence: Keeping Kids Drug Free. I am so glad to have taken part in this day, it was extremely educational.

Fun with my fellow competitors and friends Cassandra & Brenna! 

On Saturday 5/20 I attended the SCS Baseball Opener! I even threw out the first pitch and made it onto the cover of the SCS Connection newspaper. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm not a softball expert, but with a few lessons from my sporty cousins I threw out a strike!

Then it was Memorial Day Weekend, parades galore! I met many local dignitaries and visited with ones I already knew. Very fun event with my SCS family!

It's always fun to chat with the Brownies about self-esteem, even if only for a short few minutes :D PS Where's my Samoas?! JK

In the middle of all this we had dress alterations, costume appointments, mock interviews and talent rehearsals. What a busy and exciting month!

Late April & May Updates from Ang!

What a busy year it has been! Let me update you on some of my April and May events as Miss St. Clair Shores:

I attended the Optimist Champion Dinner at Blossom Heath Inn in SCS, and was just floored by the caliber of students who received scholarship awards. I was brought to tears by several of the stories. What an uplifting night,and I felt lucky to be invited as a special guest.

I took part in Miss Michigan Night at the Tiger's Game! This was 2 days after I was involved in a scary auto accident which I was lucky enough to walk away from with minor injuries. I surely believe in guardian angels now, and please everyone wear a seatbelt at all times. My seatbelt and airbags absolutely saved my life.

Speaking about why my platform is relevant today

The first weekend in May, I was asked to model in a fashion for for our sponsor Fashion Couture with Heidi Scheer at the Women's Expo in Novi. What a great time we had modeling the gowns and short dresses! It was so much fun!

I attended a seminar held at  Utica High School in Shelby Twp, my hometown, about the dangers of K2 and marijuana for teens. I heard uplifting speakers and even spoke to some parents about resources they can use to help get their child on the right road (for those who expressed that their child had experimented or was having issues with various drugs.)

That same day I attended a mother/daughter breakfast in St. Clair Shores. I even got to appear as a real princess, signing autographs and chatting with the girls and their moms. I met so many kids that day, it was a lot of fun.

The following weekend I attended a life changing seminar. This is separate from pageant world, but has impacted me greatly...it was called the Landmark Forum. Here's a web site to check out for more information: www.landmarkeducation.com

More events in my next posting!
