DYW; COME ALIVE 2018

COME ALIVE DYW

Distinguished Young Women is national scholarship program inspiring high school girls to develop their full potential culminating in a celebratory showcase of their accomplishments. When I was in high school, I competed in Junior Miss, which is was the name of this program once upon a time. I remember loving my experience with Junior Miss, and because I loved it so much--I convinced Hailey to give it a try. To her--it was the best experience ever. She absolutely grew as an individual and made lifetime friends. A major plus to the whole experience, of course, was the scholarship money she was able to obtain. She placed 1st in Interview; 2nd in Scholastics; and 2nd Runner-Up overall.

Championship Game

Championship Game

Hailey's high school soccer team made it to the championship district game. The girls had played an undefeated season leading up to this game, and mentally--they felt the game belonged to them. Sadly, the other time came out with a bit more passion, and out team lost. Although the girls were extremely disappointed, there is a lot to be said for persevering, and playing hard at a game that you love! They can definitely be proud of a season well played.

Hailey is passionate about soccer. She absolutely thrives on the intensity of the game. When she is playing, she is all in—heart, mind, and soul. When she was little, it was so fun to watch her—almost funny—as she learned how to play. Now, she knows exactly how to play, and the fun has intensified.
