Miss Florida

A year ago today I sat here in complete shock after being crowned Miss Florida not knowing that my life would be completely changed forever but what an incredible year it has been. It has been such a blessing and honor to be your Miss Florida 2017 and serving this amazing state. I am more than grateful for everyone who has been a part of this journey and for the kindness and support you all have given me through this whirlwind of a year. As I give up my title in just a couple of short hours, all I can say right now is thank you from the bottom of my heart and I’m excited to share with you all that a few weeks ago I accepted an elementary music teaching position in Daytona Beach and I am thrilled to start this new chapter of my life! I know the best is yet to come!! Follow @sarazeng_ for life after the crown 👑 Signing off, love you all so much and thank you for an amazing year!! #MissFlorida2017 #SaraZeng (at RP Funding Center)
