Wow! I still can't believe that I am your Miss Teen Virginia 2011.  I can still hear,"And your Miss Teen Virginia is...Ashley Greenfield!" I had been waiting to hear those words for so long and my moment was finally here. I was so overwhelmed with happiness and couldn't help but cry the whole time of my crowning! After a long year of hard work and commitment, my dream has finally come true.  I am looking forward to an amazing year with my sister queens and wonderful director. I know we will have many great experiences together and memories that will last a lifetime. I also can not wait for the Miss Teen United States Pageant in Las Vegas! I realized after winning the pageant that it's not time to take a break; It is time to start working even harder! I am so excited to start shopping and prepping for nationals where we will all have an amazing time. Last but certainly not least, I am very much looking forward to traveling around Virginia making appearances and visiting elementary schools to talk about my platform, "Self Perception Starts With Reflection." My goal is to inspire children all over to follow their dreams and to help them believe in themselves. I am so happy to be representing such a beautiful state and look forward to meeting so many great people.  FINALLY, I am YOUR Miss Teen Virginia; Ashley Greenfield.
