Day 1 is here!

After 9 months of speaking engagements, appearances, mock interviews, and talent preparation, it is finally time for the Miss Missouri Outstanding Teen Pageant!  Here is the class of 2014 that will be competing for the title. I'm so excited to see old friends and make new friends as well! It should be a great week!

Talent Preview

 

I’m so excited to be able to perform my talent this Friday morning at the Miss Missouri Outstanding Teen pageant. Choosing a talent song to dance to is a VERY difficult task. I finally decided that a song was not the choice that I wanted to make, so I am dancing to an abbreviated version of the poem “Say, Yes” by Andrea Gibson.  This version, set to a guitar accompaniment is a compelling, thoughtful poem about selfless people that have touched our lives, particularly, selfless women.  It’s a departure from your normal pageant dance numbers, and I hope you will enjoy it.
