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
