I came across a youtube video one day of girls cutting their long hair for the Lock of Love organization. The video was so touching that I began to cry. It was awesome seeing how they sacrificed their long beautiful hair to help out a child with cancer. I wanted to do the same. However, I have NEVER had short hair in my life. I was scared. But I knew I wanted to do it. The last day I had my long hair.. I was brushing it out.. and began to cry. I had always loved my long hair. But I knew that this was something special I wanted to take part in. So I found a Locks of Love location and donated 10 inches of my hair. One month later I went on to become Miss Fresno County 2011. I then competed in Miss California 2011 where I won a talent scholarship and the Miss America Community Service scholarship in honor of my service to the community! This is my Locks of Love experience!
