This weekend I was asked to judge a pageant for K- 8th grade. These are always the hardest pageants to judge because you want to make everyone a winner. I had to be at the school early that morning and get ready to interview the middle school girls. All the judges read over the girl’s bios and were impress by the girls in seeing who their role models were, what their greatest accomplishment was, and their dreams for the future!
Many of these middle school girls picked their role model to be an amazing person, other than their mom. One girl's role model was her aunt who was diagnosed with spinal bifida. She told us how her aunt is determined to live a normal lifestyle despite her illness. She went on to complete grad school, she tries to get out of the house any chance she gets, and she has a dream of becoming a teacher and is working towards that. I thought it was amazing to see this 7th grader notice those things in her aunt, and want those same characteristics as her aunt.
After the interviews we judged all the girls in evening wear. All of these girls had gorgeous dresses and loved to be able to get dressed up and have fun! The night was a success and everyone had a good time!
