I am sorry that I have not posted a blog in a while! I have been so busy! I am finally in my last week of summer classes but as all students know, the last few weeks are always the busiest.
About two weeks ago I attended my sister's eighth grade graduation banquet as well as her graduation ceremony where she made her valedictory address which moved us all to tears. Yes I said it...My sister graduated at the top of her class! How awesome is that? She worked so hard and I am so proud of her! The graduation ceremony was held at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, where I also graduated from eighth grade back in 2001! I can't believe that it has been eight years!
I was able to reunite with many of my former teachers during the graduation banquet. I was especially excited to see my middle school science teacher, Mrs. Bisogno. She was the teacher who helped me while I competed in science fairs. A little tidbit about me...I competed in science fairs from fifth to eighth grade. I placed at the school science fair every year, placed twice at the regional science fair, and I even placed at state! My experiences in science fairs were very rewarding and I could not have done it all without Mrs. Bisogno!

I also have been busy with Miss Florida preparations. I leave in less than 3 weeks! I have been preparing all year round and I cannot believe that the week that I have been dreaming about for many many months is right around the corner! Every night, when I'm lying in my bed, I am overcome with so much gratitude for the experience to compete at the Miss Florida Pageant. It is truly an honor to be one of the local titleholders of such a remarkable system.
I will keep you posted!
God Bless,
Kristina
