Best Of Luck Miss Ohio Contestants!!!

Miss Ohio 2007 will be selected tonight!!!

I had been involved with the Miss Ohio Scholarship Program for several years and really enjoyed my time while I did it. The Miss Ohio Scholarship Program helped shape me into the person that I have become today. I learned a lot about interviewing, presentation, competition and people through the program and I am grateful for what I had gained from that part of my life.

I never won a local title to qualify me to make it to the Miss Ohio stage but I sure had fun competing on the local level. I lost count of how many locals I had competed in but I did manage to earn some scholarship money, win a Preliminary Swimsuit Award and place in the Top 5 several times over the years that I competed. I made good friends through the system and learned more about myself in the long run. A lot of the people that I met I am still friends with today and know that I will always have a bond with them.

I really do give a lot of credit to pageantry for the person I have become today. I feel that it helped me tremendously in my career path. I always say that I usually not afraid of meetings due to the amount of panel interviews I have done that were Miss America style. And I have learned plenty about people and their body language. Something that is very important in my career field.

To the young women that are competing tonight. Have the time of your life, soak up the moment and remember to be proud of who you are. You got there and that was half the battle. There is one winner but in the long run you have already won.

Best of luck!!!
