Farewell to Courtney Olson - Miss Minnesota Jr. Preteen 2010

Hi Everyone!
I
can’t believe it’s been a year already. The time goes past so fast and
the memories I have just keep getting better and better.

Being
involved with National American Miss has taught me so much. From the
confidence in myself to seeing the inner beauty of each and every person
I meet. I know everything I do now will benefit me in the future and I
will be able to meet all my goals I set my mind to. I have had so much
fun hanging with my sister queens, meeting individuals within my city
and state and volunteering my time with various organizations. And not
to mention, my time in Disneyland was AMAZING. I met so many wonderful
girls from all over the country. I know I have made friends for life.

I
would have made it to this without so many special people in my life.
My family and friends standing by my side, making sure I get everywhere I
need to be. Thank you all. I love you all very much. To my sister
queens, what more can I say. We will be bonded for life. I will never
forget about our time together and will treasure our memories of the
past year. To my state directors, Mr. and Mrs. Maples, thank you for all
you do for National American Miss. You have helped me know that dreams
do come true.

To
all the future contestants, work hard, be proud and never give up. Set
goals for yourself. Stay focused and even if you don’t make them the
first time, you will. I have proven that to myself several times.

And
finally to my successor, Congratulations! You will never forget the
memories you make over the next year. Enjoy each and every minute of
this time. It’s your time to shine.

I am your Minnesota Junior Preteen 2010
Courtney Olson
XOXOXOXO
