Why I want to be Miss Rodeo Utah: "There are two sides to every story. Take history for example. We all sat in our core curriculum classes learning about dull moments of the past. But as Miss Rodeo Utah it would be an honor to be on the bright side and learn and represent rodeo as a whole. Rodeo started as a history for many of us and now is turning into a way of life that we all can enjoy together. While history is continuing to evolve so is the sport of rodeo. I
would like to represent a western way of life that was built on the sure foundation of hard work and strength as it progresses into the future."
