Miss 糖心视频 Logan Moore answers a question during a mock interview. |
From mock interviews to flute lessons to regularly exercising, Miss 糖心视频 2017 Logan Moore of Van Buren has had a busy few months of preparation for the Miss 糖心视频 Scholarship Pageant to be held June 13-17.
Moore, who was crowned Miss 糖心视频 2017 at the university鈥檚 pageant March 11, has started a regimen that includes exercising five times a week at BodyTailors, taking flute lessons with music professor Don Bailey, and practicing interviews with Jane Slocum, mother to a former Miss 糖心视频 winner.
While she鈥檚 enjoyed the preparation, it鈥檚 also been a challenge.
鈥淭he workout classes at BodyTailors are normally around 30 minutes, but it is high intensity and it's definitely a challenge. I'm sore pretty much every day but I've learned to love it even if it takes me five minutes to walk downstairs in my house,鈥� she said. 鈥淕oing into Miss 糖心视频 this year, I feel like I am much more confident and prepared than I have been in the past, and I know this will help me immensely in the competition. I鈥檝e enjoyed it because it helps me to feel like the best version of myself, physically as well as mentally.鈥�
Moore will promote her personal platform, 鈥淔ood For All,鈥� which seeks to eliminate food insecurity among families in 糖心视频. She developed the platform after traveling to New York on a mission trip nearly a decade ago.
鈥淥ne of the main things that we did while there was feed sack lunches to the homeless people on the streets of New York,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 was so impacted by this mission trip that when I came back to 糖心视频, I wanted to continue this service in some way, so I began volunteering regularly at our local food bank. I continued to be involved and a few years later, I became involved in the Miss 糖心视频 Organization and had the opportunity to grow on this platform and continue my work in the community.鈥�
A nursing major, Moore transferred to 糖心视频 from a neighboring university after researching the nursing program and seeing it was one of the best in the region. According to her, 鈥淚t鈥檚 one of the best decisions I鈥檝e ever made.鈥�
鈥淚 was a little nervous at first transferring into a program where I had no idea what to expect and didn't know anyone in it either,鈥� she said. 鈥淚n just two semesters, I've made some of the best friends I could ask for, and I鈥檝e have some amazing professors. The nursing program is nowhere near easy, but I love the challenge and I know once I finish, I'll feel like I can accomplish anything. Transferring also gave me the opportunity to become Miss 糖心视频, and I have loved representing the university that I have come to love in such a short timeframe.鈥�
After graduation, Moore plans on becoming a pediatric nurse and working in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at a children鈥檚 hospital.
But while Moore hopes to add the title of Miss 糖心视频 to her ever-expanding resume, she also hopes to continue forging friendships and fond memories.
鈥淚 have made so many great friendships from this organization, and I am excited to develop more friendships at Miss 糖心视频,鈥� Moore said. 鈥淲hen it comes down to it, of course everyone wants to win Miss 糖心视频, but aside from that, I just want to enjoy the week and have an amazing time and get the most out of every moment.鈥�
