Saturday, I volunteered to help clean up the Anacostia Watershed, Kingman Island. I had so much fun walking the trails with my two biggest supporters and best friends who came out to volunteer as well. 
While cleaning, we found countless things along the shoreline, under the bridge and along the trails. I heard the funniest story about a child who was there cleaning finding a $20 bill; she said, "I gave to Mother Earth and she gave back to me!" That was the cutest thing I had ever heard. But seriously, the Earth does give back when we care for it.While I was under the bridge, I was greeted by two young ladies who work for Discovery Channel's Planet Green Network. They were 
excited to find out that I am Miss Earth Maryland and that I was out volunteering so they did a brief interview with me. They thought my story would be a great one for the network to pick up and follow. I was extremely excited to express my interest in the environment and my views on climate change. They filmed me as I balanced my crown on my head and walked on rocks to pick up litter. I expressed to them, "This is one of the reasons our pageant's slogan is 'Beauties for a Cause'." This was my first interview that day; and it primed me for next ones that would later follow.

She could possibly be a future Miss Earth!
As we were leaving, we came upon the film crew for the Green Apple Festival who also interviewed me.
After a busy day of cleaning, I stopped by for a movie audition and went to rehearsal for a play that I am in. As you can imagine, by this time I was tired, but I still managed to perform well in my audition and at rehearsal, according to the people who critiqued me.
Saturday brought me great joy because the weather was so beautiful and I did so many positive things that day. I couldn't wait to wake up to attend the Green Apple Festival on Sunday.
