Miss Springville/Mapleton 2021

Adalynn Mae Keisel is the daughter of Ryan and Jennifer Keisel. She is the oldest of four children. Together, they enjoy traveling to Lake Powell, watching movies and playing music. Keisel and her sisters play the fiddle in a bluegrass band with her grandparents. She loves performing with them as well as competing at different fiddle competitions, including the National Fiddle Competition in Weiser, Idaho. She has lived in Mapleton for eight years and loves the beautiful mountains surrounding her home.

Keisel graduated from Maple Mountain High School in 2021 with high honors. She enjoyed playing on the basketball team and obtained her nail tech license during her senior year. Since then, Keisel has started her own business as a nail technician. Currently, she is attending esthetician school at Skin Science Institute to become a Master Esthetician. Upon completion, she plans on growing her clientele and expanding her own business to eventually own her own salon.

Over the course of her reign, she has thoroughly enjoyed serving those in her community and attending many events. She has found that true happiness comes from serving those around her. Some of the highlights of her year include riding in a hot air balloon, performing on the violin at several events, participating in parades, judging a Little Miss pageant and sharing her Social Impact Initiative.

Keisel’s Social Impact Initiative is “Unique begins with YOU, Cut the Comparison.” Through this initiative, Keisel encourages others to be themselves and not compare their unique attributes to others around them. She believes that everyone was created differently for a specific purpose, and those differences should not be hidden. Instead, they should be shared with the world with confidence. To do this, she has come up with five helpful ways to build self-esteem and cut comparison out of people’s lives. They are: 1. Use positive affirmations. Keisel uses an app on her phone for daily positive affirmations. 2. Do something you love. Keisel has found that through physical activity and music, she feels the most confident as her authentic self. 3. Cut out negative content. Cutting back on social media is one of the best ways to not compare yourself to others. 4. Spirituality. Keisel believes focusing on one’s spirituality, whatever that may look like for each individual, helps boost overall confidence and mood. 5. Service. Through service, Keisel has been able to find herself and her unique contributions to the world.

Keisel wants everyone to know how loved and needed they are in this life. With suicide rates growing rapidly, she wants to help others find and understand their purpose in this life and share it with confidence. If you want to follow along with the remainder of Keisel’s year of service, you can follow her Instagram page at @missspringvillemapleton. ut and @uniquebeginswithyou, where she strives to share positive content on social media and update her followers on the events she attends.

Keisel is so grateful for the time she’s been able to serve as Miss Springville/ Mapleton and is looking forward to competing at Miss Utah in June.
