Well it all started in 2010, when at the last minute I was the backstage hand for the Miss Crosby-Ironton Pageant. It was the first time it was brought back from 15 years ago. So there was some rough parts but I was back there telling the Emcees when it was safe to continue so no one missed a beat.
After that I became a contestant in the 2011 Miss CI Pageant. It was such a fun time that truly treasure the memories that have been created with everyone. For my talent that year, I did a comedy routine that I made my own spin on, from an iJustine video from YouTube. It was about a mishap at a coffee shop though mine didn't happen to me it really did to iJ. OH I love it. But when it came down to crowning I didn't want to feel any crown land on my head BUT ONLY the Miss CI crown. Sadly I didn't earn a crown. It just wasn't my year and I feel that I put the pageant before God and I really shouldn't have done that.
Now in 2012, I am competing once more to see if I earn a crown. I have worked insanely hard and I have put in work with my platform, Operation Smile. I'm sure you have heard of it. :) Well at my workplace, Heartland Kitchen & Cafe, I have been holding a fundraiser and I will keep it going 'til the end of August. My goal was $240 and that is the amount of a single surgery for a child in a developing country. But I have raised enough money for TWO surgeries. I am so happy and proud of my community for giving. I feel very blessed. Now that it is getting down to the wire to the pageant, I am working on my walk and talk. Introduction, Talent, Interview, and Evening Gown...Crazy time but fun!
I feel if this year is my year to have a title in the 2012 Miss Crosby-Ironton Pageant. It will be if not well maybe I am meant to be in another pageant. I have been looking into the Miss America pageants and I really want to give it a shot. It's all about what is in my plan that God has for me.
Well that was my story and I'm stickin' to it! HAHA. Keep checking back for more memories, stories, and updates in my pageant life. :)
