“No one could love or appreciate you more than I do. When I first came to see you, I was a totally different person than I am now. Gone is the shy, scared girl who didn’t want to go on stage in a swimsuit in front of a crowd. You have instilled in me the confidence to not only get up in front of people but to give speeches with ease. The practice sessions with you are the main reason I won the Miss Teen Oklahoma Title on the second try. That will always be one the the most exciting moments of my life. You are not only a mentor, but a good friend.”
