On My Way to Nationals

On August 7-9th 2009, I will be competing in the East Coast USA National Finals in Baltimore, MD. I will be attending Nationals with the title Teen Miss North Carolina East Coast USA 2009, which I won back in November 2008. I will be competing against a high number of very talented young girls for a National Title.

I know there is a lot of negative talk out there in the public about Pageantry but honestly pageantry is a great way for young girls to be taught respect, self-confidence, determination, and also an opportunity to make lifelong friends. Since I have started participating in pageants (at 16 years old) I have seen a huge confidence boost and I now present myself to the public with certainty.

The pageant world can be very expensive considering the traveling cost, entry fees, outfits, and the hotel expenses. If won a National title, not only will there be a nice monetary price but just the honor that comes with winning that title is very rewarding especially knowing you put your heart and soul into it and it in the end has paid off.

By winning the State pageant which is a preliminary to get into Nationals, some of my fees has already been paid for Nationals. However, there are many more fees that have to be paid in order to participate. With the registration fee and other events that take place throughout the pageant, the remaining cost will be around $500-$600. With the support from my family, friends, and local businesses in the community I believe I can have an outstanding experience at Nationals and great memories that will last a lifetime.

If you would like to help me out financially, you can either write the checks out to:
