@@shaynajanaa Yes!! You have an amazing personality and are such an amazing role model! I know it can be expensive, but it’s truly a wonderful investment.

@ 🥹so sweet!! I definitely feel pageantry tends to push me to work harder and invest time in myself I probably wouldn’t otherwise which is good. It’s truly such a grand experience I often turn to my introverted side lol, but I’m glad I could muster a little courage and talk to you along with a few other girls 🫶🏽 such a fun week overall for sure!
@CahleyspageantjourneyАй бұрын
@ I’m very socially awkward, but NAM has really helped me step out of my shell. The parties were a bit overwhelming for me, and it felt awkward trying to talk to people since most already seemed to have their own groups. When you came over and started talking to me, it truly made the experience so much better. I can’t thank you enough for that! I love that pageantry pushes us out of our comfort zone and helps us grow into better versions of ourselves.

Hey! I had an adhesive (glue) wig on here so tying my hair down nightly and avoid water/ sweat was KEY! If I were you, I’d get my hair done RIGHT before I left since nationals is a week long.

(you have less time than you think:) •Dress wise, I suggest a dress that flares at the bottom over a form fitted dress just for walking/ posing on stage (but choose one you’re confident in) •Make EYE contact with ALL judges!

To create mine, I listed out adjectives I wanted to convey to the judges (I.e. well rounded, leader, etc) and formed my intro around that.
