After spending the wonderful holidays with my parents, I took off for Dallas, TX on January 2, 2008! It was very exciting because I had never flown alone before and even traveled 1st class thanks to my Dad's frequent flier miles and proiority points! When I arrived at the airport a Limo (yes, a limo!!) took me straight to the Omni West Park Hotel in the beautiful city of Dallas!The next 5 days had to be one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had! Eagle University is not a college university, but it provided me with a wealth of information that I will use for the rest of my life! January 2-6 was time to focus on my future for school and life and taught invaluable lessons I will remember for a lifetime!
I felt very motivated as a contestant and student before I got to Dallas, but now I am even more focused and motivated than ever! The guest speakers were awesome and shared some stories that had us laughing one moment and crying the next!!
We were put into groups and our group won an award! We were the Golden Eagles! Most of my group members were some of the state title holders for Teen USA! It was really nice to get to meet them before we go to Nationals!
My roommate Stacie was awesome! She is from Colorado and was a semi-finalist for the Teen Division. She is such a sweetheart and I loved that she was my roommate! We keep in contact as much as possible!
Spending time with Elisabeth, my sister queen is always special! This trip I got to know Elisabeth's first runner-up Hannah Lynn a little better as she attended too! They are both so uplifting and I love them to pieces!!! : )
I use the things I learned from Eagle U everyday and I'm so thankful and blessed to have had the opportunity to learn and meet the people that I did! God really does bless me everyday!
