I would like to thank the citizens of Colquitt for supporting me continuously during the "Big Shot" contest. Even though the word "winner" was not stamped on my head, I finished in the top five, and so many doors and windows of opportunities have opened up for me.

The Miller County Liberal deserves a big "thank you" for all its staff did to advertise my contest and getting me so many extra votes. I also want to recognize WALB for putting me on the six o'clock and 11 o'clock news.

I would like to thank Mandy Hatcher, WALB's internet coordinator, for setting up the interview and patiently answering my many questions. Thank you so much, Emily Cloniger for telling me about the contest and filming my two videos. You deserve so much recognition and appreciation for all that you do for me. And last but not least, I would like to thank my mother for pushing me to do my very best and reach for the stars. Without her, I would have never achieved any of my acting dreams! Thanks, Mama, and remember, you'll always be my "momager!"
