Beauty Pageants


Beauty pageants are often criticized as demoralizing young women.  We watch many shows on TV where young girls, barely able to walk, prance around in swimsuits.  However there is a side to beauty pageants that many people do not know. 
I am your 2010-2011 Monticello Princess.  At the end of my senior year of high school, I decided to run for the Monticello Ambassador Program.  This program allows young women the opportunity to grow in many areas such as: Public Speaking, Etiquette, Poise, and Self-Confidence.  This program also gives young women a scholarship to attend college.  There was no prancing around in a swimsuit like many people think.  It consisted of an interview, speech, fish bowl question, and observation at many events. From this experience I learned a lot about myself and met many new friends.
