A Day of Play at the Toledo Humane Society

I spent my spare time today interviewing for the job at TAHS which I think went real well. Plus, discussed with the person in charge of the education department regarding getting involved in teaching responsible pet ownership to children. I have 2 camps that I am signed up for this summer already to be a teacher and working on other projects between now and then. This has a two-fold benefit as I can use this as an internship also which will count toward my Grad school application as well as promoting my Platform for Miss Ohio/America. I am sooooo EXCITED about this and now I need focus on finalizing some of the details of my activity booklet that is all about my Platform that I can share with the kids and hope to have completed and published by the time of the camps this summer. Somehow I will have something there even if its a photocopied pages. What a way to introduce my book at the kids camps. I hope I will have a local title and who knows maybe, Miss Ohio title when this happens. Being a Positive role model and promoting responsible pet ownership too! Only positive thoughts!!!

After all of the business details today I got to play!! with the Puppies and Kitties there. My favorite thing to do anyways! Its my stress outlet and I get a renewed spirit about things when I am there. I know I am doing the right thing with my platform when I am around the animals. The support from the TAHS and other volunteers and people there is amazing. I really appreciate the outpouring of support from everyone so..... Thank you.

Too busy to blog!

Its not that I haven't been doing anything or not working on my platform, but actually the reverse. I have been so busy working on my platform and have lots of pics to download but I haven't had time to post. Maybe I can get mom to do it for me this week. Anyways, I have been very busy with school, work and preparing for competitions again and last night I placed 1st Runner-up at Miss Maple City Scholarship program in Norwalk, Ohio. The title was within my grasp....almost! Soon.... I just know it and I will make my way to the Miss Ohio stage where I will be promoting my platform on PETS - Promoting Education, Training and Safety and the Humane Society!! So excited to have a voice for the animals. Check back soon for more updates about my platform and pictures of furry friends to adopt.
