The fun might have been a little to much fun for the nugget in the middle... But thank you so much to Felicia, Miss Merrimack, for including me today! I had a blast with you, and I am inspired at how much work you do to raise money for the ‪#‎nhchildrenstrust‬! ‪#‎missnewhampshire‬

This girl DOES have a future in Higher Ed! I am feeling so thankful and blessed to be accepted in the Salem State University's Higher Education in Student Affairs Graduate Program! I am beyond excited to help my future students #ReachHigher!

If you are ever feeling overwhelmed, please watch this video. Shout out to my main girl Dee for showing me this fabulous clip that will turn your frown upside down.

Tea anyone? Today, Skylar and I served tea at the Miss New Hampshire's Outstanding Teen Tea Party to raise money for the ‪#‎NHOT‬ program! ‪#‎MNH‬‪#‎missportsmoutharea‬

I always enjoy chatting with Allie Nault, Miss America's Outstanding Teen. In my opinion, the best conversations occur when conversationalists learn from each other. I must say I always learn something new from Miss Nault.  Today we talked about our experiences meeting candidates on the campaign trail in New Hampshire (she has met every single candidate, and will one day rule the world). Below is a link to some of the candidates' statements and views on higher education.

Last week, I had the opportunity to speak to third graders about how it is never to early to start reaching higher! Thank you to to the third graders of Bow Elementary School for welcoming me!

Go team! Yesterday, it was great to get to know some talented hockey players from around New England today before holding the flag at the Monarchs game!‪#‎MNH‬ ‪#‎missportsmoutharea‬ ‪#‎manchestermonarchs‬ We also sold raffle tickets for a jersey and a chance to meet the players, which benefited the Miss New Hampshire Scholarship Program.

Kat and I were lucky enough to sneak this shot with the Red Sox 2004 World Series trophy! 

Today, we had the opportunity to speak with Secretary Clinton at a Town Hall. After being called for a question, I asked Secretary Clinton how she would balance providing opportunities and services for under privileged children to help equalize opportunities while encouraging them to grow into independent people. She stated that it is not only important for children to be provided with services , but it is also imperative that families are also encouraged to foster the growth of their children. She continued to lay out a detailed plan to help equalize opportunities for children and encourage their successes. ‪#‎MNH ‬‪#‎firstprimary‬

As always, here is a little something to get your week off to a great start. I know that I will live by these words in 2016.

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to sing the National Anthem for the UNH Wildcats Mens' Basketball game against Dartmouth. Especially as a history major, this song means so much to me. Thinking of Fort McHenry and my privateers. 

This is one of my favorite days year after year! We had a blast volunteering this afternoon at the Salvation Army Toy Shop! Thank you to all of the volunteers who are committed to "making it happen!"

Thank you to Holly for this picture!

We are so lucky to live in the state with the first primary! Today, I asked Dr. Carson what he would do to fund public higher education. ‪#‎mnh‬ ‪#‎service‬‪#‎missportsmoutharea‬

Just please be smart about it.
