LSU grad wins Wheel of Fortune

quote:

---

However, I was still not mentally ready. I needed to get my game face on. As I stood in my Blue #3 position and waited for Vanna and Pat to come out, I began to think, “What gets me fired up?” “What gives me the chills?”… LSU. I am a third-generation LSU graduate and hearing the LSU Golden Band from Tigerland play the pre-game show before a football game fires me up and gives me the chills like nothing else does. So I began to hum the pre-game song and the LSU fight song. It worked. I found a little bounce in my step, the corners of my mouth turned into a smile and I got the goose bumps that I get every time I hear those songs. I could finally feel the confidence come together. I about died when Vanna walked out in a purple gown with a gold broche (LSU’s colors). It was once again another sign that this was meant to be and I needed to make the most of this opportunity of a lifetime.
