They tell you all the time how quickly life moves, but its hard to believe how fast second semester of your senior year goes. This is my excuse for not writing sooner about some landmarks in my journey.
First, let me begin by saying Contestants Day was a success. I felt nerves, which I knew I would feel. Honestly, it was kind of fun though. As a dancer, I have been on the stage since the age of three and so performing is more of a treat than a challege for me. However, the pressure of hearing everyone repeatedly say, "We can't wait to hear you sing!" was building inside of me like a bottle of pop ready to have a mento dropped inside. When it came my turn to perform my talent, it felt awesome to get to take control of the audience is such a different way. Let's just say another milestone down. I'm ready for Miss Oklahoma!
This Tuesday, I found out more exciting news. I get to dance again!!!! Slowly of course... But I am finally back to where I have wanted to be. The timing for this news was impeccable considering I was given my fall schedule for 2014 at OCU Monday! Honestly, this journey is far from it's conclusion and it's taken a team to get me here. Now, it's just up to me to be diligent, safe, and spend as much time in the studio as possible. Which will be easy considering the love and separation anxiety I already feel for the sweet kids I've gotten to pour into over the last year.
Next, I have been spending some time with a 5th grade class talking about Healthy Choices Healthy Me. First they took a test and learned about some common misconceptions about healthy choices. We noted that Oklahoma is the 10th most obese state in the country!! After discussing some things we could do better to improve our lifestyles, we headed to the iPads to make our own iMovies promoting healthy choices! In the next few posts I'll be sharing the videos in my blogs! Enjoy the hard work of these kiddos!!!
xoxo,
Heather
