Kate Moen Wessington Springs Foothills Rodeo Queen #6

Win, Lose, or Draw, there are many experience from this week I will cherish forever. Seven days with a limited number of people allow for many close conversations and interactions. The following are some of the things I have came up with!

I have made many new friends and networks to last a lifetime.

I have been reminded to find contentment in all aspects and situations in life.

There are ALWAYS positives.

No matter what, the world still turns and ONLY I can make my life what I want.

I CANNOT be perfect all the time.

There is NO ONE who can get in the way of my dreams.

When it comes down to it, the memories we've made are what really matters.

Never live with regrets because you never know what tomorrow will bring!

I have had a great week and look forward to the future and what is to come!

Kate

Sarah Crisswell Miss E.T.C. Rodeo #10

"Today is the last day of the first day of our lives" is what my room mate said as we woke up this morning. Today is the last day of the competition and there is a beginning here as well. This whole week has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I will never forget all the tears we shed at the children's hospital, all the amazing tours and sites we saw, all the amazing food, and all the laughing sessions we had with the girls, judges, sponsors, and chaperone's. I will never come home the same ever again. Even though this may be my last pageant I am walking away richer than any millionaire in this world (and not just cause we got loaded up with gifts). The knowledge, memories, and experience we have all gained will be the "bumper rails" of our bowling lives. So weather win-lose- or draw I will take this with me to share with any one who will listen. I will tell them my mistakes, my passion for rodeo, my cries, and laughs, because each of the 9 girls walk away still rodeo queens, we were all rodeo queens before we got our crowns. We all supported, promoted, competed, encouraged the sport of rodeo before we came here and we dont need a sash or title to do that! Thank you to all the people here this week who have helped facilitate the change that I will be living by for the rest of my life!And thank you Rachel, my room mate, for being my best friend and sister. For one last time: I miss and love you family, cowboy and friends........ and I will not come home the same.

Morgan Davis Miss Rocky Top Therapy Center

Hey ya'll  this pageant has been an eye opening experience.  Although the days were long and strenuous I have learned that no matter whether not I win I am still a good person and I can reach for the stars if I want to.  I will be taking away new friends and memories that will last a lifetime.  The boost for your self esteem and people skills will last forever and no one that has been here will ever forget the experiences.  This has been a character building process that will stay with me for the rest of my life.  Thank you Miss Rodeo USA, for the experience that I have received I will never forget it.

Madelyn Hoggard Miss Brock Farms

Win, loose or draw I have gained an experience of a life time this week. This week has been amazing for me. I have learned so much this week that I can take back with me. I have made so many friends and I came here for the experiences of a life time. My favorite part of the week was when we got to go to the Children's Center. Also the first night of the IFR was awesome, I was almost in tears. I have not ever got to experience a Finals rodeo before and I was so excited to be able to be there. I loved that we got to tour the Cowboy Hall of Fame, I wish that we had more time to take all of the lovely information in. When I get a chance I would love to come back and tour it again. I will never forget this week even though we are all tired we all had so much fun this week. I have many memories that I will never forget from this week. In my eyes I would not take anything back from this week. This week has been an awesome experience that I will never forget.

Synda Lockard Miss NFPB

Hey,

Well I'm a little sad to say that the pageant is almost over, but I'm proud to say I have learned a lot from this experience. I have made many memories here that I will never forget. These girls have all been really great and I will miss all of them after this is over. This pageant has been such a learning experience for me in many ways. I've learned all about my strengths and also things that I need to improve on for future competitions. Everyone here, especially the staff, has been extremely helpful and I would like to say thank you for all that you've done.  Also I would like to thank my Mom, Kim, Amy, Maria, and Corrine for all the hard work they've done to help me get ready for this pageant. Its great to know that I have family and friends that would gladly stay up all night gluing rhinestones or making a dress in a week! Last but not least I would like to also thank my Dad, Cassidy, Cody, Greg, and especially Blake Whitehead for believing in me and supporting me all along the way. The best thing I have learned win, lose, or draw is that family and the people that support you are the most important thing so never take them for granted and thank them because they are helping you make your dreams come true. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Synda.

Miss Rhinestone Rodeo Rachel Kelderman #5

Good morning-Its saturady!!!

Win Lose or Draw, my experience this week

I have once again had once of the most incredible weeks of my life. When I left here last year I had had such a great time that I knew I had to do it again, and Oklahoma sure did not let me down. I am ready to leave here a "winner" and know that my life is so changed weather I "lose" or not. I know that this week God blessed me so much and made me feel so calm and happy. He made sure that I had the "draw" I wanted in horsemanship. And allowed me to get every answer out of my mouth the way I wanted to. So whatever happens here today I know that my life is truly blessed and I am forever changed.

Love Rachel

Summer Davis Miss Pawnee Bill Memorial Rodeo Queen #2

Win, lose, or draw...What a week!

What began with an idea, turned into an action, which wound up bringing me here.  Being a part of this pageant has opened so many doors and friendships that would never have existed without being a contestant at the Miss Rodeo USA.  Each time that we go out of our comfort zone, and attempt to overcome a fear, we learn so much about ourselves.  Being here this week has given us the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, inclucing: sponsors, directors, the committee members and even the judges.  To all of these people, I am forever greatful for their support.  I hope that all the girls have had the same kind of joy and fulfillment that I have experienced throuhghout these past days.  Thank you to all of the people that made it possible for me to be here.
