Standing at the window of Elvis’s suite at the Westgate, wearing OKLAHOMA across my chest, I couldn’t help but reflect on how far I’ve come. 🤍
Tomorrow, I walk into my interview with more than just answers, I walk in with a story. A story filled with challenges, unexpected turns, moments that tested me, and accomplishments I once wasn’t sure were possible.
At 17, I thought my life was over. I thought the challenges I faced would define me. But looking out this window tonight, I’m reminded that my life didn’t end at 17… it was just beginning.
Tomorrow, I get to share the moments that shaped me, the obstacles I turned into accomplishments, and the story that made me who I am today. I couldn’t be more proud to tell it with Oklahoma across my chest and my whole heart behind it.
Tomorrow, I don’t just tell my story. I own it.
