Poems. Monica Lin.

I follow this girl on Instagram who writes poems. She's brilliant. So I just want to share a couple of my favorites, they are definitely worth your time. <3

The quote I shared in my Miss UVU interview:

I survived and I'm so proud

I made it, and I made it through in one piece. I honestly didn't know if I was going to make it through the past 2 months. It was a roller coaster ride, some ups and some downs, but definitely a worth while experience. It's fun to see how far I've come and how much I've grown. None of this would have been possible if it weren't for Chelsi standing by my side and giving the courage to push forward. Along with all the other support I had surrounding me.

 

The 10 minute interview was by far the hardest part of the process. I was so nervous, I seriously didn't know if I was going to survive it. The rest of the pageant was actually a lot of fun and afterwards I felt like was on top of the world, like I could conquer anything. I took second attendant, and I would be lying to say I'm not sad I didn't win. I'm a very competitive person. I know that everything happens for a reason but I'm not sure I know or understand this one yet.. I feel like I was ready for it, I felt ready.  

I'm very proud of our new Miss UVU, she did so incredible and she is going to do so well! All of the kind words from people afterwards really meant a lot.

I really enjoyed this journey, I wish it could have ended a little differently, but I'm excited to see what comes next!

With lots of love and a grateful heart, Samantha.
