Wow guys! So recently I have been practicing by myself with this up in coming pageant! But tonight I practiced with some friends who truly know their way through this system!
We focused on walking a lot and swimsuit! I feel I got that down pretty dang well! But I kept bouncing or swinging my arms...I finally got 'er! Lol! The poses are so much fun! They even named one after me entitled "the Tiffany Paul"! HAHA I love it!
Then we practiced Evening gown! That went good but at times I went a little fast but then I slowed down. Then I forgot to turn my head as I was in one stance to look all over the audience! But I am feeling ready for it!
Finally we practiced interview! That was interesting, very different then my last pageant! But not too hard to learn. I grasped the concept quote quickly and thanks to Vicki ad Savannah, I feel so ready for this pageant and I am not going in this to win (though that would be awesome) but to have fun and make friends!
To all who feel like your dreams are out of reach: NEVER GIVE UP!! I was born with a Bilateral Cleft Lip & Palate! I grew up with half of my childhood at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis! I would not change that for the world! I had 15 surgeries to repair my defect and through them I have grown! God has been there and guided me and He is always there for me! My family keeps me grounded and supports me in what my heart may desire! I graduated high school and am currently attending college majoring in Young Education for my A.S. Degree! I have raised $1,321.25 for my platform, Operation Smile because I wanted to show through my last pageant that I was dedicated to my platform but it just didn't show too much to those judges! But now I am here competing for the title of Miss Northern Lakes 2012. There is a reason I am here and didn't earn a title in my past two pageants! God has a plan and there could be something Major here for me! Go with a Smile and Faith...God will guide you though!
