Mmmm…what else could that mean but the State Fair? On Sunday, I sang the National Anthem at the State Fair and had an absolute blast. Unfortunately, I couldn’t partake in the deep-fried goodness all around me because I have a swimsuit competition in two months! Wow, two months...it’s getting so close!

Tuesday and Wednesday were super busy. On Tuesday, I spoke all day at Deer Valley High School in Glendale. I talked to 11 classes over six periods, and the students were great. The classes were all freshman health classes, so my platform was definitely relevant to what they were learning.

I had two appearances on Wednesday, and it was an early morning! I spoke at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Cactus High School, and they meet at 6:40 a.m. I have so much respect for high school students and teachers! It makes me appreciate the fact that at ASU the earliest class is at 7:40. After that, I went over to Light and Life Elementary School in Phoenix to speak to their kindergarten through sixth graders. It was so much fun...I had an “awww” moment when they all shouted, “Good morning, Miss Arizona!”
