Hey Everyone! Well...It's been quite a long time since i've blogged last, and its been even longer since the pageant, over a a year now!! Hard to beleive. Anyways..I thought that i would just update you on my life since my last post!

University- I finished my first year at  The University of Saskatchewan, where i was in the College of Arts of Science. I wasnt sure as to what i was studying towards, although i have had ideas of many things, it's been so hard for me to decide...I've wanted to be so many things, such as: A teacher, nurse, doctor, dentist, fashion designer, makeup artist, psychologist and the list goes on.. So, with that said, I have taken classes my first year that are ordinary and will help me study in most areas. Personally, I really did not enjoy University my first year, it was very overwhelming and hard, i found. Now....I am just finishing summer holidays, i start my second year on September 6th...8 days! (Time goes by so fast! :P)

I have decided this summer for certain, what i want to do for a career and study during my remaining years at the U of S. I have decided to study to become a Teacher!! Elementary/Middle Years..Grades 6-8. Maybe a high school teacher one day. But, I am SOO excited with my decision and cannot wait till my schooling is over to start this journey. I am sure I will enjoy this very much!  So.. as i enter my second year of studies I will be taking classes that go towards getting into the College of Education!

Summer Holidays- Well...I have had quite a boring summer. It has been very hard this summer to find a job, therefore my summer consisted ot quite boring days. I now however have a part time job at my moms work . It is a really good job :) As of travelling and getting away. I went to Lloydminster for a weekend in July. My Auntie, uncle and 2 cousins live here.  We went to the Fair there in Lloydminster, it was fun! Then a couple weeks later we went to Thunder Bay, Ontario to visit my Uncle! While there, we stayed at his cabins, seadood, swam, shopped and toured. We drove there, so it took 2 days, because we stopped in Winnipeg and spent the night at my moms friends and then continued on our drive to Thunder bay the next day. I really enjoyed the drive...not so much from Saskatoon to Winnipeg (It was quite boring and flat as you could imagine) Although the drive from Winnipeg to Thunder bay was much nicer, some beautiful scenery and much to look at. Overall, my summer travellings were nice, but quite boring other than those few trips.

Pageants- I haven't done anything with any pageants since The Miss Teen World's last July. Although, this September (18th and 19th), I was asked to be a Celebrity Guest Judge at the Little Miss Regina Pageant. I am very excited to be a part of that! As of any other pageants for myself. I really would love to join more, and i keep searching for some to enter. So...when i do find some pageants I will definteley work towards them and possibly enter, but i will for sure update you guys on this!

Thanks everyone for reading and updating on my life since my last post. I will keep you updated on everything as i enter my second of school and on any exciting things that happen next!!

Bye!! :)

Hey everyone!! It's been quite a long time since i've blogged last, I've just been soo busy with school lately, But I just finished finals..so i am finally on Christma Break..Yay!! Since the last time I wrote I said I would let you guys know how university is, so ill update you on that! University is quite different than high shool, I found it and still kinda do a bit overwhelming, as well as a little hard, but it takes a bit for you to adjust to, so I am looking forward to seeing how it goes later on. I just finished my first term and start back on January 4th, with a bunch of new classes! I'm looking forward to that..but i'm happy its christmas to..a break is defintely needed. hehe. As for Christmas, I don't think I am going anywhere this year, but I might go to Lloydminster to visit some family on boxing day, i'm not quite sure yet though! I am looking forward to christmas day...One of my favorite holidays of the year!! :D I think I am done all of my chrsitmas shopping, but I never know because I keep buying stuff....I can stop!! haha. I will keep blogging and keep you updated on how my christmas is going and how my second term of university is going alsoo...so for now Merry Christmas and I hope you guys have a great one!!! <3

Hi everyone!! So I thought that I would just give you an update on my summer so far and what I have done. As you all know My summer started off taking part in the Miss Teen Canada-World Pageant in Toronto, Ontario,which was AMAZING!! I had the best time of my life. I would like to thank you all for your support! I will definetley be going back to Toronto just because I love it so much!!( You can see pictures of my time in Toronto in the Gallery!) I got home from Toronto on July 28th, and since then being back home has been a little boring haha! The weather here is Saskatoon has not treated us well, especially for summer! That has definetely had an affect on my summer. I am usually outside everyday during the summer, although it has been hard to do that lately :) I have been to Lloydminster,Alberta to visit my Auntie, Uncle and cousins, which was great (I love travelling...even if its only 2 hours of driving haha). 

Now, I am getting prepared for University Ahhh!! I am entering my first year at the Univesrity of Saskatchewan where I will be taking Arts and Science Classes in Pre-Med. I am hoping to get into the medical feild, because I think that this would be a great way of helping people, a thing that I LOVE doing. I am getting very anxious, excited and nervous about it though because it is such a huge place and I will probably get lost a few times haha! But it really helps that not only do I have friends going to the same University, but I also have some of my friends in a couple of my classes, i think this will really heelp me haha. So to get ready, I think I have to prepare myself emotionally as well as with school supllies and clothes, because I think that it will be a big change becasue I am not going to be able to see my friends all day, I will have to make new friends, which isn't hard for me, just scary (but exciting) :D Tommorrow I am going shopping with my mom and brother because I need to finish getting my supplies, which really doesn't consist of alot, mostly just paper, pens, pencils, calculator, white out, binders and maybe a few more things haha. (Way less than elementary school. I remember those big long lists I used to get haha). After I get all of my supplies tommorow I am in major need of some new school clothes haha. And then I am good!! My brother also needs these things to lol. (He is going into grade 5!) :) Soo..for the 13 days left of summer that I have, I will hopefully go camping a couple more times as well as go to Lloydminster to! I will definetely keep you updated a couple days before I go to University and let you know how I am liking it!! TTYL!! Bye :D

Wow, Soo Toronot was amazingg!! It was the funnest week of my life! We did so many cool things such as going on Breakfast Television Live, MuchMusic, and MTV Live, toured the city on the Hippo tour bus, walked through the Eaton centre and went to Medeival Times(tournament and dinner), as well as many other fun things. I also met the most amazing girls, who I will never forget and I miss them so much already! It was also very exhausting and stressful at times, because we rehearsed alot and had pretty late nights followed by very early mornings. Though it all paid off as we had a great show and alot of fun memories together :D

The day of the show was very tiring but fun to! The show consisted of our Opening number Dance, evening gown showcasing and Bathing Suit portion as well. At the end, The winner was announced! I unfortunately did not win, although my closest friend Siera Bearchell did, she is from Moose Jaw Saskatchewan and is SUCH a great person who deserved it. Every girl was great!! I am very close to Siera and am proud of her, although I am very proud of myself to, because I have accomplished so muchh already! I am a shy girl and don't come across as someone who would embark on this(to my friends and family), Although this is something that I have wanted to do since I was a little girl. So I went for itt, and mad myself proud, my family, my friends and hopefully Saskatoon!! I hope that you all can look up to me, and I can be a role model! Be yourseld, Beleive in yourself and you CAN do anything!! <3

Thank you everyone for your support, because without it, I would not have gotten this far. So Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! <3

P.S) I am still Miss Teen Saskatoon-Wotld 2009, and I will continue to make Saskatoon proud and I will do more events and fundraising for the rest of the year. Keep checkingg to see what the next event is!!! Thanks again! Love u all!!  :D

Hi everyone,

     This is my third blog assignment, and it is very important. We were asked to post a picture from Free the Children, and write about it. Please read this and consider everything, as it is the Miss Teen Canada-World's organization and it is a very important topic that everyone should be educated about. As Miss Teen Canada-World, I will be trying to make the world a better place, this can be started by educating people about problems within our world, and I will be proud to. This does not mean that I am the only person who should do this, I encourage everyone possible to learn about these things and to take a step and do the right thing.

This photo above is Showing a little boy holding a pencil. This boy is proud of his pencil and realizes that he can now write and communicate with it, although he now needs an education to learn how. This is the main focus of this photo, because it shows how proud and happy he is that he now hs a pencil, which he hasn't had before, and he now has the ability to start an education, with the help of others.

This picture is touching because everyday we take for granted our education ad think that we know it all and that school is not fun, and we can fool around, although this is not the case. We should ALL be aware that there are people in other countries who are striving for education and need it to live. Showing how these kids are overcome with joy that they now have another chance at life.

We think sometimes that we don't have everything that we need, asking for more. Though when you look at these children they are overwhelmed at what they now have. We have an incredibly huge amount more than they do, showing that we really need to be aware and help those out there that dont have even the neccesities to live a normal life, where in other place we think that we just dont have enough. The most important thing is having the survivals needs to live. These children and adults do not even have this.

Please take all of this to heart, as it is a very touching, and educational topic for everyone, and is very important to me. By even reading this and considering it, you can realize how good we have it and how much we need to help those who dont. Thank you :D

Visit http://www.freethechildren.com/ to learn more about this organization and what is going on in the world.

We are the next generation and it is our job to stand up and make a difference. By even donating some money, or educating other people about this will be the start to making a change in the world. As Michelle Leas, Miss Teen Saskatoon-World, in hopes of becoming your Miss Teen Canada-World, I promote this message to you all and hope you care about it as much as I do. Thank you :D
