Oh man...learning new things in a short amount of time!

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!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

Hello there, again!!

Hello everyone!! Well it's almost has been a year since I have written a blog on here. So I have some very exciting news. Since I competed at Miss Minnesota International 2014, I first decided not to compete in pageants anymore. I was worried that God wouldn't get the glory if I continued to compete. He is why I would compete. Also I felt like I couln't be me, like I had to wear a mask. But just recently I decided to get back in. I will be competing in Miss Brainerd Lakes in August of this year. I feel very excited to get back in and try a new pageant in a system that I love. I already have set up a volunteer opprotunity/fundraiser in the summer to raise money for the Children's Mircle Network in order for me to compete & also for the organization tied to my platform, Operation Smile. It will be A LOT of fun!! I also purchased my swimsuit for the pageant & got my talent set up. I know this will be the best pageant I have yet to ever compete in!!!  When I

This Saturday is the day!

Wow it is finally the week of the pageant! But it is not cool that I also have 2 tests this week. Ugh I'll manage, through God I will prosper! So I have been practicing mad hard and praying about it! I feel confident and comfortable! Not overly confident where I am thinking 'I got this in the bag' but ready to have fun and ready for what God has planned! I just am nervous that if I don't get anything that I will get sad and really upset! Hopefully I will be happy and have fun no matter what. If I were to capture the title, I would hope to impact others and prove that though I was born with a birth defect... God has a bright future for me and I am able to succeed just by competing! I would love to help out anywhere I could! And hope to be that role model for girls that I always had which was a confident girl who isn't perfect but isn't afraid to be themselves! Well it's getting late and I have a test tomorrow...ekk! Til next time. -Tiffany A Pageant

A pageant life is a wonderful life!

Hello may I start out by saying my name is Tiffany and I am a high school graduate going to college to major in Young Education. I have competed in one pageant in my life and I plan on continuing on the pageant road. I have competed in a local scholarship pageant and I am in the same pageant again this year. I thought I would share the memories that have been created this year. The pageant is on August 16, 2012...Which means I am SO CLOSE to the pageant. I feel God has something special for me this year either it being getting a title or inspiring others to embrace who they are. I am happy. So please take a walk with me as I share my journey to the crown. Hopefully this year we shall EARN it and make a change in the community. May God be my guide and I shall be leaded to what victories He has for me. Sincerely, Tiffany A Pageant Queen in waiting :)                                       Me last year in the 2011 Miss Crosby-Ironton Scholarship Pageant
