As I sit here at my computer, it is crazy that in only 5 days I will be leaving for the Miss Tennessee competition. These last 10 months have flown by and I am amazed I have accomplished everything in time! I am so excited, anxious, and ready to compete for the title of Miss Tennessee. This is something that is very important to me and I know I am ready.

The title of Miss Tennessee is so much more than a crown and sash for me. It is a job opportunity, my dream job. I honestly feel that God puts us on certain paths in life and this is the path for me. I want to make a change in this world and being a part of the Miss Tennessee organization allows me to do just that. Even as a local titleholder I have the opportunity to speak to children about being proud of whom they are and to be the best they can be. I also have the opportunity to volunteer even more with my platform, breast cancer research and awareness.

 I am so lucky to have these opportunities presented to me. This is why the title of Miss Tennessee is so important to me. It would be an honor to represent my state and community with this great honor. Pageants are something I enjoy, but it is everything outside the actual pageant that means the most to me. The events, volunteering, and being a representative of my community and the Miss America organization are the important parts of my job.

 Preparing for the Miss Tennessee pageant is a job in itself. It has taken several months of hard work to get where I am today. Of course this wouldn’t have been possible without my mom. She has been my “pageant assistant” along the way, as well as the rest of my family. My dad, sisters, and pageant mentors have helped tremendously along the way and I couldn’t have done it without them. There have been several ups and downs along the way, but I can safely say that with everyone’s help I am ready to compete!

I know the dieting; working out, studying, practicing, and planning will pay off and be worth it in the end. I have gained life experiences just by preparing for this pageant and can’t wait to make memories that will last a lifetime at Miss Tennessee. See you there!
