WOW! these past few months have flown by! I cant believe my freshman year is already over and Miss Texas outstanding teen starts in one short Month! My school year was very very busy! I had cheer tryouts, Chapter FFA officer elections, and STAAR test, but those were only a few of the things we had to do! Next year as a sophomore I am going to have the honor of being a Varsity Cheerleader and the Parliamentarian on my FFA chapter officer team! I was also thrilled when I got Advanced performance on 4 out of 5 STAAR test. I was especially excited for Advanced placement on my writing STAAR considering only 3 people in our whole grade got advanced on it. The ending of this year was very bittersweet for me. I am so excited to move on to be a sophomore, but this year was my sister Madison's, final year at Fairfield High school. I cant believe I wont be able to see her everyday in the hallway next year, but I know she is going to make a great Texas Aggie!
Not only have I been very busy with my School life, but also as Miss Fort Worth's Outstanding Teen!
Spring Meeting was amazing as always! It was great to finally meet the MTOT class of 2013 and I can't wait to spend even more time with them at Miss Texas!
I also had the opportunity to play my Fiddle at the Cartmel retirement home in Palestine, Texas. I enjoyed watching the people's faces light up when they heard Devil Went Down to Georgia and Orange Blossom Special. The Miss Fort Worth organization also had its annual Mock Pageant! It was so great to see my MFWSO Family again! I love getting to see them every chance I get!
I also had the opportunity to do one of my favorite appearances! I got to volunteer for the special Olympics! This is my second year to do this appearance and I absolutely loved it both years! This year I had the opportunity to meet a very special girl named Savanah who loves Country Music and most of all Taylor Swift. I also got to see my sweet little Brooke, who was precious as always! I am so blessed that the Miss America organization gives me the opportunity to volunteer for amazing organizations like the Special Olympics.
Just a couple of days ago I got to do my School program at my Hometown elementary School for Mrs. Moore's Second grade class. I talked to the kids about my platform Mallory's Mission; Love the Skin you're in. I shared with the kids how to accept themselves for their differences as well as share my story of being bullied in Jr. High because I was different than my peers. I also shared with the kids that we all have different talents. I told them about my special talent of playing the fiddle, and even played a little for them! They loved the part when I played my fiddle. I ended my school program by signing each of them an autograph picture and asked them to remember every time they look at my autograph sheet that we are all different and unique!
I can't believe there are only 28 days until check in to Miss Texas! It is all coming so fast but I'm so excited and can hardly wait!
