In the Miss America Organization, the crown has four points; style, scholarship, success, and my favorite point, service. Today as Miss Brookings, I made my 20th appearance. I spent three hours at the Brookings' HyVee, where I handed out samples of chocolate milk and educated the customers, going through almost four gallons of chocolate milk. It was so great to be able to interact with the kids and adults, as they went to make their beverage selections. I was thrilled as adults would say "I haven't had this in years," or "Wow I forgot about chocolate milk" and then proceeded to buy a gallon or half gallon. Seeing an immediate result is so reassuring. I also was thrilled when a young lady said, "You came to my school and now I drink chocolate milk after every track meet." Hearing that I actually got through to at least one student was so rewarding.
As I look back on my first twenty visits, I am so proud that I was selected as Miss Brookings. I originally was going for the title of Miss SDSU and was given Miss Brookings, as this title was also given out at the same pageant. But I am so happy they gave me Miss Brookings. This has allowed me to visit places I never even thought of in the amazing community that I have lived in for three years. I have met so many amazing citizens of this community and am so proud to be their representative. Also I can now say that I represent the 2013 5th best small town in America. How cool is that?
