Last MCOT Post

  I have thoroughly enjoyed being Miss Carrollton’s Outstanding Teen. I am so honored to have held this title this year and to have had my MFWSO family. Thank you so much to my wonderful directors Shelli, Dan, and Faith Bates. You three have been so wonderful and helpful and I loved having the opportunity to work with y’all. It has been delightful working with my MFWSO family. I loved spending time with and really getting to know my awesome directors and my sister title holders; through this MFWSO family I have gained friends for life! This year I have had the chance to meet some truly amazing people and made so many fantastic appearances. The people of Carrollton welcomed me and treated me as one of their own and I loved spending time in my title city. I loved meeting wounded warriors, parents, teachers, and students on my appearances this year and I am blessed to have shared my platform with most of them. I can’t believe my journey is coming to an end as the Miss Texas pageant nears. I’ve worked hard, now the time is coming for me to give it all I’ve got! I truly want the title and the job of Miss Texas Outstanding Teen; so say a little prayer as I finish out my journey at the Miss Texas pageant next week. <3 Jacy MCOT

Last Weekend in Dallas Before MTOT Pageant!

I spent the weekend of the 8th preparing for the Miss Texas pageant. The Miss Fort Worth Scholarship Organization had our wardrobe showing where we got to show off our competition wardrobe for the pageant and perform our talents. After the wardrobe showing, I met my trainer for a tough workout (he likes to kill me in workouts). My trainer has really helped me work for the healthy body I want by my clean eating program and super powerful workouts. On Sunday, we had our last MFWSO meeting and afterwards, we celebrated our Lone Star Princesses with a pool party at the Colonial Country Club! I enjoyed spending time with two of my LSPs. Ashlyn and Kambrie are two precious girls and I am so glad that they were able to come! So sad Hannah, one of our beautiful LSPs, was not able to make it!

            Now all there is left to do is prep for the pageant, organize and get clothes together, and get set for our next trip… Miss Texas’ Outstanding Teen Pageant, here I come! :) <3 Jacy MCOT

JEWELS and GEMS Crowning

   Presenting royalty! After a great year with my JEWELS and GEMS I presented them with crowns and sashes. I am so proud of everything they have accomplished this year. My JEWELS and GEMS are an outstanding bunch! Not only did they attend the monthly meetings, they are implementing what we talk about. I have heard so many great things that they have done outside of Jacy’s JEWELS and GEMS, like compliments about their attitudes and behaviors from parents and teachers. They are even doing community service on their own. What a blessing it is to have been a part of their lives this year!

Brownfield Transforming Through Transition Fair

   On May 23^rd I spent all day at the Brownfield Transforming Through Transition Fair. Texas Tech asked me to be one of their Key Note Speakers and bought 60 books to give to each girl that I spoke to. The 8^th grade girls were split into three groups and I gave my presentation about bullying to each group.  After my presentations, they brought the 8^th grade girls and boys together for a big presentation given by a rapper named Yella Boy and an American Idol participant named Javonte Bibbs. Yella Boy is a rapper whose raps are inspirational and Javonte got into the top thirty of American Idol. They both sang for us and sounded amazing, and the presentation was very inspirational! After Yella Boy and Javonte finished, the 8^th graders had lunch and the girls had me sign their books, and both the girls and boys had me sign autographs and their shirts. As I was leaving that day, it was so touching to see the some of the girls reading my book even though they had the freedom to be talking or running around. I am so honored to have inspired them that much in my presentation that they couldn’t wait to crack open my book. It is such a good feeling to be God’s tool! <3 Jacy MCOT

May 22nd

   On May 22^nd, the counselor of the Kelly/Dodson Elementary School in Denver City, Texas asked me to speak about bullying. I was able to bring Scarlet, my ventriloquist figure, to help me speak. The girls loved Scarlet and had several questions for her. I shared my story with them and educated them about the positive ways to overcome bullying and explained how each of us has special qualities and talents that make us unique.

   To end the program, a song called Don't Laugh At Me  was played. This song really touched my heart and gave me another great resource for my platform. Mrs. Hilburn, the counselor, also purchased 25 of my books to give away in a drawing. What a great day! <3 Jacy MCOT

Jacy's JEWELS and GEMS Style Show

   Lights... Camera... Action… On May 19^th, my JEWELS and GEMS met to have our First Annual Jacy’s JEWELS and GEMS Style Show. It turned out to be a great success! The kiddos modeled in Spring attire, Dressy attire, and shared a talent. The kids had a choice to pick their categories, so not everyone participated in the talent portion. They all did a fabulous job. I am so blessed to work with my JEWELS and GEMS! The kids had some cute Spring attire and some snazzy Dressy attire. I am so impressed with all of the neat talents presented by my JEWELS and GEMS. I must say, what a talented group of young men and women that I had the opportunity to work with this year. The Miss Texas Organization better be ready when these ladies are able to compete because there will be some tough competition! Also, have I mentioned how WONDERFUL our escorts did! They looked so adorable in their Tuxedos and bowties! I am honored to say that I had the opportunity to get to know this group of young ladies and gentlemen! They are OUTSTANDING! I am also proud to say that this event raised $320 for the Komen Walk for the Cure.

May 13th

   On May 13^th I was invited to speak to the 6^th and 7^th grade girls at Brownfield Middle School. They were a great group and I think they had fun learning about my platform. One of their teachers who sat in on the program told me afterwards that I had no idea how much of an impact I make to the people I talk to because she still remembers when a former Miss Teen Texas, Brooke Staudt, came to speak to her class when she was in school. It is so nice to hear that because I want to make an impact and help others learn a healthy way to overcome bullying and avoid peer pressure. Educating and inspiring are the main reasons I am proud to wear my crown; I am able to share my story with others and let them know that they are not alone and they can reach their goals and dreams if they focus on the positives and love who they are.

  After I shared my platform, we had time for questions and answers and few of the girls had asked if I would come to their end of the year band concert. I was honored to watch as the 6^th grade, Middle School, and High School bands performed. They all sounded wonderful and I loved seeing some of the girls I had spoken to that morning! <3 Jacy MCOT
