2015 Texas Regency Winners

My name is Mckayla Salceda. I’m 10 years old, born in Walnut Creek California. We moved in Houston, Texas late 2013. I am in 5th grade of St. Thomas Moore Catholic School in Houston, where I love being the best I could be. I had 2 faculty academic honor rolls for being a A student, and a member of school and church choir since I was in Kindergarten. I’d been dancing ballet since I was 3 years of age. My favorite hobbies are acting, dancing, modeling, and singing. As I grow up, I wish to be a famous song artist, international model, and famous actress. I was a Grand Winner with cash prize and trophy in singing competition of “Philippines Association” in Houston event held on October 2014. I always keep my dreams alive. I understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in myself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication.

Ally Souza is currently a Lamar University sophomore, a LU cheerleader and an active member of the Delta Beta Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi. She enjoys cheerleading, dance, and volunteering. She also enjoys volunteering with the Special Olympics, the Houston Food Bank and Star of Hope.
Her platform is informing others that the Special Needs community should be embraced and heard. She is very close to her platform because she was born at 26 and a half weeks weighing one pound and 12 ounces, and had an 80% chance for having Special Needs. Ally recently had the honor of being one of the models in October for Houston Fashion Week at the Mercedes Benz Dealership for the “PIXXEL” Collection.
