Eagle Flight Camp

When I got back from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I had the opportunity to be a guest speaker at Eagle Flight Camp at Discovery Land in Sand Springs, Oklahoma!! Two years ago I got to speak at this camp and was asked to come back again to catch up and share some inspiration.

I started my speech by sharing my journey to becoming Miss Oklahoma Teen USA 2015. I then touched points on my childhood about growing up extremely shy and terrified of even speaking in a classroom. Some of the kids voiced to me later that they go through some of the same struggles of not feeling like they fit in which causes them to feel insecure about themselves. It was important for me to inspire them to continue setting goals and mapping out a plan for success in their life. I have learned by listening to countless Zig Ziglar motivational speeches that writing down your goals is the first step to achieving them. Fortitude, desire, and diligence are key principles in accomplishing your goals. I've discovered through experience that you can wish for something everyday but unless you put in the time and effort towards your goal, it just won't happen. However, when you put in the hard work consistently, that is when things start happening. Your "luck" increases and you get closer and closer to achieving your goal, no matter what it is. You can apply this to sports, academics, or your career and you are bound to excel.
