Hey Oakland County, Its me…

I am so honored to now be named as your new Miss Oakland Countys Teen, Scarlett schultz! This truly is a dream come true.

I am so excited to begin this new chapter and represent Oakland County! I’m so grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way and helped me get to this moment. I can’t wait to make memories, serve my community, and make this year one to remember. 💗

To my Teen director, Lauren, I genuinely am so appreciative of all of your hard work and commitment. I cannot wait to spend my next year with you.

Here’s to a year filled with purpose, growth, and so many amazing opportunities! 👑✨

The End Of An Era 🎬💟

This year has been quite a wild ride! People always ask me, “Geez Lily, how on Earth do you do it all?” And my response is, “I have no clue. I’m on Mars.” The truth is, I have accomplished all that I have because of the people around me. The key to success is having a village to take care of you.

To Lauren, Francesca, and the Miss Oakland County and Teen Scholarship Program, thank you for welcoming me into your lives with warmth and excitement. You have helped me every step of the way and I couldn’t be more grateful! You have shown me such a wonderful time and cheered me on in all my senior endeavors. I love you guys so dearly.

To Grace, the most admirable, captivating, and intelligent Miss Oakland County I’ve had the honor of standing beside. You have certainly been my loudest cheerleader, and getting to round out my teen journey with the girl who crowned me with my first title has been nothing short of incredible. You were my first role model within this organization, always so kind and confident. I surely learned a lot from you this year. And remember that I will always be in your corner.

To Dalia (and her Viper girls), you have been my town mayor since day one. Words cannot describe what our friendship means to me. I can’t wait to make more memories with you as your Viper Girl and as Lily. Thank you for being the gorgeous soul you are.

To my Mom, Dad, sister, friends and family, your love, commitment, and support for my pageant career mean everything. You are always there no matter what happens; whether that means humbling me or cheering me up. Thank you for helping me chase my dreams.

Finally, to Oakland County, I could not have asked for a better place to represent for my final year as a teen. This is where my immediate family lives, where I work, where I have played and grown up. I am glad that my title was able to bring me to new places and connect me with so many members of this brilliant community. It has been an honor to serve you all this year and our shared moments of joy will remain in my heart forever.

Thank you all for being my village.

With love, signing out for the final time,

Lillian Heitchue
