After the interview we still wanted to know more about Kristen and what goes on in her pageant brain, so we got her to fill out thePageantGuy.com’s “Here’s What I’m Thinking” questionnaire :)

VIDEO: A Day in the Life of MAOTeen 2013

Rachel Wyatt in her own words:

"Being able to put the crown on these little girls' heads is really special because they just look at it and see a crown and they think, 'Wow, you're a princess!' but the meaning behind it and the four points mean so much more than that. For me to be able to tell them about that and let them try it on and take pictures, its really neat, fun, and special for them...and and it means a lot too!"

Last month, Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2013 - Rachel Wyatt visited Dallas and I was invited to document a typical day in her life as MAOTeen.

We began as she arrived at the airport in Dallas and dinner afterwards. Early the next morning, Rachel attended a private session with Mental Management Systems.  During her short time in Dallas, Rachel was able to make a few appearances to speak to children and give back to the community.  She spoke to the children of Heart House Dallas, spent time with them and handed out books to the group.  Following the Heart House, Rachel helped with the Toys for Tots toy drive.  Concluding her long day was a relaxing dinner with friends from Baseball Diamonds and a few laughs 🙂

Come take a glimpse into "A Day in the Life of MAOTeen 2013" video below...

VIDEO: Rachel Massie – Miss Arizona USA 2013

Words written by a friend of Rachel Massie:

"It has been so rewarding watching her start her career and work so hard at accomplishing her goals. Not only is she a stunning young lady, she is a shining diamond inside with a heart of gold. I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the new year than with the success of my girl!!

Never give up on your dream no matter how hard the path may seem. Life is not always easy but when you put your heart and soul into it, you go far."

First time ever as a contestant. First time ever on a stage...Winner!

Could her second time on a stage and as a contestant result in being the second ever Miss USA from Arizona?

Stay tuned to Rachel's journey to the crown at @RealMissAZUSA
