Busy, Busy Bee

The end of the semester is a busy time for any college student - end-of-the-year events and banquets, going away dinners, tons of papers, and the dreaded exams. Being a full-time, working, college student and a title holder is no easy task! While it's not easy, it is definitely a fun and worth-while adventure along the way.

Those of you that keep up with my Facebook and Twitter pages, you know that I have been ripping and running all over the state in the past few months. Here are some updates of what I've been up to. The title of each event will take you directly to the Facebook album for that event.

Charleston Black Expo
The Charleston Black Expo was a great way to meet and interact with people from all over the Charleston and surrounding areas. Great way to make connections and just have a great time with food, friends, and entertainment.

Charleston Kid's Fair
The Charleston Kid's Fair is such a fun event for children and families all over the city of Charleston! This event is organized by the Jewish Community Center and has tons of events and fun things for children and families to enjoy. I went to this event every year when I was younger. Mayor Joe Riley even attends and greets everyone!

Reading at C.E. Williams Magnet School
I was able to go and read to the 6th graders at CE Williams and had a fantastic time. They had some great questions for me about college, life, and what it's like to be Miss Black South Carolina USA 2011.

Grand Strand Forget-Me-Not Ball
The Grand Strand Forget-Me-Not Ball is one of the galas of this type that benefit the South Carolina Alzheimer's Association. The Grand Strand Ball is held in Myrtle Beach, S.C. I had the honor of presenting the Professional Caregiver of the Year Awards and the Personal Caregiver of the Year Award. It was a grand time!

 MCAS Beaufort Air Show
I attended the MCAS Beaufort Air Show and had an awesome time. Myself and Miss South Carolina Teen USA, Keyla Childs, were able to interact with various military personal, play some games, meet families, and meet the Blue Angels - what an honor! It such a fun day!

Hopefully these pictures help you to see how busy the end of the semester has been. The approaching summer is bittersweet for me; I absolutely love summertime and I am so excited about the upcoming Miss Black USA 2011 Pageant, but I cannot believe that at the end of this week I will be a junior in college. Where has the time gone?
