I’m starting the process of looking at what University I’d like to apply to and I’m constantly reminded how quickly time flies when you’re having fun. Here a some of the highlights from my Junior Year!
Madyson Adame worked with Sleep in Heavenly Peace because they both believe that a bed is a basic need for proper physical, emotional, and mental support of a child. All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. Across the USA, San Antonio and Alamo Heights, too many boys and girls go without a bed – or even a pillow – to sleep on. These children end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors. This can affect their happiness and health.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace and the NCL Mariposa Chapter are a group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need. The SHP motto is, No kid sleeps on the floor in our town®.
We are ALL made in God’s image and this prayer is so powerful and shook me to my core. Please, watch it all!!!! Lord, heal our land, heal our hearts. Forgive me for my ignorance. Give me the eyes, ears and heart to love thy neighbor as thyself.
This week I wrapped up such a fun trip to Colorado with my family. The trip started off a little strange because we got caught in the Colorado wild fires. Our drive from Denver Airport should have taken 3 hours and with all of the road closures, it took us 9 hours! We arrive in Snowmass, CO at 4:30 a.m. , it was an adventure for sure. I pray that Colorado receives some rain soon so that people can protect their homes and animals.
We vacationed with so many families from Alamo Heights. I was the oldest kid here, but these girls are so cute.
Love all these girls!
I love Colorado, there are so many outdoor activities to enjoy. This week, we went whitewater rafting, biking and hiking. Here are a couple of photos from our adventures. Yesterday, online school started and I am a Junior at Alamo Heights. I am going to be joining online school from Breckenridge. Here’s a picture of me and my little sister Chloe. Every year we take a picture with fingers showing what year we are starting. I know, so stupid!
That’s me on the right, 11th grade and Chloe starting 8th.
That’s it for now. Leave a comment on your favorite outdoor activities and towns in Colorado. Also, what grade are you starting this year?
Being chosen as a model for Varsity Spirit Fashion was a highlight of my Freshman year Nationals in Orlando. This is where I was scouted asked to submit my head shots. When I received the letter in the mail that they had selected me, it was a thrill of a lifetime!
Here are a couple of snapshots from the few days I spent with Varsity. In addition to learning the new skill of print modeling, I made some lifelong friends!

This summer did not look like I thought it would when we started 2020. However, being able to drive to beautiful Colorado in July, when it was over 100 degrees in my favorite city, San Antonio was a trip of a lifetime! We were invited to stay in a cabin with friends in a small town called Nederland, CO. This cabin, built in 1940’s was small and non-air conditioned but it was perfection! Within walking distance of this property is a river where we went fly fishing. Catching a rainbow trout was the highlight of our trip! It was catch and release but the memory of this guy will stay with me for a long time!!!!!
My favorite cheer to perform as an Alamo Heights Cheerleader is when we sing our Fight Song. I attended elementary & middle school at a small Classical Christian School in Corpus Christi, Texas. I loved it there! I knew that when it was time to go to High School, I wanted a larger experience. My family moved to Alamo Heights so that my sister, Chloe, and I could attend a great public school that had a strong cheer program. Singing this song means so much more than school spirit to me this song represents my strong desire to be apart of something larger than myself and make life long friends. I am sharing a video of my 2019-2020 team signing this song at a cheer competition. Can you tell by my performance that I love my Alamo Heights Mules?
Being awarded All-State Cheerleader is something that I will cherish for a long time. Coaches from around Texas choose who receive this award each year and it is based on your attitude and how you stand out over the course of a year.
I know some people might think that cheerleading is not a sport, but we put in long days at practice and it is hard on our bodies and injuries are common. This year, I suffered a concussion when I fell out of a roundoff-back handspring-full. I also pulled my chest muscles and this caused me to not be able to compete at the preliminary competition for Nationals. This was such a disappointment to me, but in cheerleading even if you are sidelined for an injury, you have to keep going, you much support your team.
Being a cheerleader is as much about cheering on your sports team as cheering on your cheer team. I am so honored to have received this award this year. It is my hope that no matter what comes my way in 2020-2021 that I will again be noticed for my attitude and cheer ability.
