Many people asked why I would want to do something like this. I had a lot of people who made fun of what I was doing. This made me want to even get out in the community and state more to show people that I have a reason for doing what I am doing.

I competed in the International system so my platform played a large part of getting me out into the community.

After people saw the good things I was doing with my platform in the community they changed what they were saying and saw that I was doing a good thing.

As a Mrs. we have to set good examples and be real life role models for others in our state and community. I would say look at it as being a role model for others and not just as competing in a pageant.

There should always be more to a beauty queen than just her crown!

[> Subject: Beauty queens don't enjoy the level of prestige they used to decades ago, so pageantry doesn't have as many fans, obviously. There are always those who look down on it, but there are still many more who appreciate the status of their queen and the doors that can be opened. I was surprised that my non-girly boss thought my competing was so great. However, she saw my drive as healthy, the experience as great practice for my work life, and the opportunities available to the company in a title, should I win one. You never know. The bottom line is that pursuing what you enjoy most helps to create a more well-rounded, confident individual.
