Preschool Bullying Prevention.

Yesterday I got to talk to Lehi High School's pre-school program! All these kids were so cute and they were so willing to participate in what I was teaching them. They were so cute, and I was so happy I was able to go speak to them, about the importance of bullying prevention! I love speaking to kids about my platform, all of them are so dear and they are great listeners!

Bullying prevention.

Today I had a great opportunity to go to Freedom Elementary, and talk to the cutest kids about bullying prevention. Before the assembly started I got to talk to all these kids individually, all of them were so cute. They were telling me all about their lives, what they were doing for summer vacation, even how they got their first iPod, how some got back from Disney world with the cheer squad. I than asked all of them if they have ever been bullied before. All of them said yes, they were telling me all their stories of how kid broke their arm and how someone told them they shouldn't be living anymore. While I was hearing these stories, I had tears forming into my eyes. These kids were only 7 that I was talking to, and they were experiencing these type of situations. It broke my heart, because they were so little and so innocent. While I was sharing my story, I asked all of the kids to raise their hands if they have ever been bullied. All of the kids in the gym raised their hands. It made my heart ache, because all of them were going through such a hard trial they had to go through at such a young age. I'm so grateful I had this opportunity to go speak to such great kids and teach them about bullying prevention. All of them were so cute, and had open arms as soon as I walked into the building. I'm so grateful for the Miss America program, and for the everlasting kindness it brings into our country.

a week full of events.

this week was lehi round up week, but it was also my family reunion. during the week my parents were driving me back and forth, for me to go do my duty as miss lehi's outstanding teen. {grateful for loving, supportive parents!} i had 3 parades to be in, and did a lot of serving! i loved seeing the little girls faces, when they got to see a real princess, it is priceless i tell you! i sang in the park... which was awful, so let's not talk about that... but i loved being with my family up at the family reunion. our family is crazy and loud.. and there is never a quiet moment, i swear. but i love it, because that's how our family is! we also had allie's bridal shower, which was super fun and super cute! her fiance, is honestly the funniest man i've ever met. i'm so glad he is going to be in our family.
i'm glad the busiest week of my summer is done and over with, but than again i'm sad. it was so fun serving my city, and meeting new people everyday! now i need to prepare myself for the upcoming parades! i love my city, it has been a blessing living here. i hope you guys are having a wonderful summer!
