My name is Kayelyn Arambula and I’m fourteen years old. I’m currently in the eighth grade and attend Willow Wood Junior High. I also really enjoy hanging out with friends on the weekends. Of course, who doesn’t love movies and pizza on Friday nights? Family days are what I enjoy most, whether it is game night, or just cozying up in blankets and watching TV. I’m also an avid volleyball player, currently playing for a club team out of Tomball and have also run track for the past six years. Now that I think of it, I should tell you how I came to be in pageants. When I was younger I would watch the Miss USA pageant with my mother and sister. I was always fascinated by their style and poise, along with the fact that they could make a real impact because of their position as the reigning Miss USA. As I grew a little older my fascination became more of a reality. So finally I worked up the courage to ask: “Mom can I do pageants I really want to do them; so can I, please?” She looked at me and laughed and of course she said YES.
In the future, I hope to play college volleyball while in the short-term, I hope to make the high school volleyball team, both of which will come from hard work and dedication. While in school, I hope to become a veterinarian. I currently volunteer at several pet shelters around the area and hope to make a difference in the world one animal at a time.
