Miss Heart of the Ozarks OT
I am so humbled and honored to be crowned Miss Heart of the Ozarks Outstanding Teen 2015! I can't wait for all of the oppurtunities this title will bring this year. Competing in Miss Arkansas' Outstanding Teen has always been a major goal of mine; and I'm proud to say I'll be able to live my dreams. The first pageant I have ever watched was Miss Heart of the Ozarks in 2012 and it was the main reason i wanted to begin competing in the Miss America System.
The picture to my left is of my family for this year. My big sister (Miss Heart of the Ozarks) is Maggie Benton. I can't wait to spend this year with her, and be able to cheer her on at Miss Arkansas. My little sister (Miss Heart of the Ozarks Princess) is Sydney Allensworth. This will also be her first year at state and I'm so happy to be able to spend it with her. I have the best sister queens, and not only that but one of the best directors, Robyn Ledbetter. I can't wait for this year and all that God has in store for us throughout the year.
Throughout this wonderful year I am getting countless opportunities to engage in my community and all over NWA. I have met so many generous people that are giving me endless support and advice so that I can be the best version of myself at my first year at MAOT, which is June 9-13 in Russellville at the Russellville High School! The amount of memories I have made will stay with me for a lifetime. I am thrilled to meet the rest of the girls at our spring meeting in April and can not wait for all the friendships that are about to be made.
