Greetings!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. I got to go stay at
a timeshare in Oklahoma with my family! It was the relaxing weekend that I
needed. We went golfing, fishing and horseback riding. Now I’m back at school
for a few more weeks to finish up the semester! This is the college student’s
favorite time of the year. Finals, projects, papers! Haha, just kidding. ;) This
spring semester has literally flown right by before my eyes. I feel like I’ve
been all over the place! I don’t think I would trade this on-the-go lifestyle
though. . . The constant change of pace keeps everything fresh and exciting.
The
weekend before last the newspaper and yearbook staff went to San Antonio for
the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association conference and competition. It was
my first time attending; it was really neat! Students from colleges across
Texas competed against each other in a variety of media-related competitions. I
was in TV advertising and PR Crisis Communication. Not going to lie, I was a
little nervous at first as the opening words at the competition went something
a little like this, “I know you all have been preparing for this all year.”
Hahaha. I just did my best with the knowledge I had! I ended up getting 3rd
place in PR Crisis Management. I was surprised and excited. I love how you can carefully
use words to diffuse a situation. This really reaffirms my career path which is
settling. Our school newspaper won the “Sweepstakes” award for our division,
meaning we collectively had the most points from awards different stories and
photos received.
We got back to Belton just in time for the Spring Formal! I’ll
attach a few pictures at the bottom so you can see how good-looking of a date I
landed.
Tomorrow I have my last meeting of the semester with my mentor, and I
graduate from the Apprentice Belton program on Thursday. I’m so thankful for
this opportunity that the Belton Chamber has given UMHB students. It’s
incredible to be able to ask questions and get advice from a public relations
professional.
On Friday I’m heading home for Miss Iowa Orientation on Saturday!
I am so excited to get to know all of the girls who will be going through the
Miss Iowa process this year. I can’t wait to get this semester over with and
get back for my final weeks before I leave for Davenport!
Below are some pictures from my last couple of weeks!
Until later,
Leah
