Hello!

Hello! My name is Shaelynn Morefield. I am so very excited to be Miss Oklahoma United States All World Beauties 2012. I am 21 years old and currently go to Oklahoma State University where I am getting my General Education studies out of the way so I can attend the University of Oklahoma and major in Flute Performance and minor in Vocal Performance. This year with my reign, I am focusing on raising awareness for mental illness and suicide prevention. This is very dear to me for many reasons. I myself have been diagnosed with type 2 bi-polar disorder and severe anxiety. For about 2 years I was very suicidal. The only thing that was keeping me from going through with this was my daughter Kristyne who is 2 years old. I am very involved with an organization called NAMI and I am a team leader for the fundraiser and walk that we have and that is being held in March. I am also going to many different schools around Oklahoma to make speeches and appearances and talk about my experience with having a mental disorder. Not very many people know that these things go on. Maybe they do but they aren't very serious about learning what really goes on in someones head that is battling this disease. With this organization and other people to come together and share their own personal stories, we can raise awareness for these diseases and get people the help that they desperately need, but are too scared to make that next step in getting them well. I have been "stable" for about 6 months now and I have never felt better. I have gone back to school, became a better mother, and an all around fun person to be around again. I want my dreams and goals to be achieved, and I want others that have the same or similar disease that I do to feel as great as I do! I am looking forward to my reign as Miss Oklahoma United States All World Beauties and I look forward to making a difference in my community! God Bless you all and I look forward to hearing from my followers!
