Our beautiful Miss Fort Hays just finished interviewing!
Interview Day! 🤍✅
Today, I completed what is probably the most challenging phase of competition! The funny thing is, interview is one of the biggest reasons I joined the Miss Kansas Organization in the first place. I wanted to grow professionally, become a stronger public speaker, and gain confidence in social and professional settings. Looking back at where I started, I’m proud to say I’ve seen growth in all of those areas this year.
My community service initiative, Beyond the Bubble, is all about stepping outside of comfort zones and today, I had to take my own advice.
I’ll be honest: I cried before my interview because I was so nervous. But when I walked out of that room, I felt something even stronger than nerves, I felt proud! Proud of the work I’ve put in. Proud of how far I’ve come. Proud that I showed up, pushed through the fear, and gave it my best.
Growth doesn’t happen inside our comfort zones, and today was a reminder that sometimes the moments that challenge us most are the ones that help us grow the most. ✨👑
