The Day I Wore Such a Beautiful Accessory
The Day I Wore Such a Beautiful Accessory People say that the best accessory a girl can own is confidence. Knowing myself, I really don't have much confidence than the other girls around me. Not to brag, people around me say good things about me but I'm the type of girl who doesn't approbate compliments. When I was in high school, my classmates and even my teachers always force me to join pageants. I always reject their offers because as what I've said, I don't have that much confidence. Just the thought of joining pageants makes me feel embarrassed because I don't believe in myself. "Okay, next time.", this was always my excuse whenever they want me to join pageants; then came the Search for Mr. and Ms. UEPLHS Top Model 2012 when I was in third year. Again, my classmates and my adviser wanted me to represent our section but I just said that I don't want to. Without me knowing, the next day after the said pageant was announced, my bestfriend called my mother and asked her if I could be the one to represent our section for the coming pageant. To my great disappointment, my mom said it's okay so my classmates immediately registered me to the pageant. At that time, I couldn't back out so I have no choice but to join the pageant. I was really shy even during the rehearsals. My shyness grew bigger when I found out that my ex-boyfriend, actually my only boyfriend ever since, is also a candidate for the pageant. I got more nervous as the date of the pageant came closer. My family and friends didn't failed to support me during my preparations for the pageant and I was really grateful for that because it somehow lessened my worries. December 14, 2012 -- it was the day I once wished never came but it all turned out that it was a very lucky day and one of the most memorable day in my life. As the candidates introduced themselves one by one, I was at the backstage praying "Lord, please help me.. Even just second runner-up would make me really happy.. Please..";

    Feeling Like an Outsider

    The main reason why I was so nervous is because the school I was coming from was very small and private. I went to Our Lady of Grace from kindergarten to eighth grade. The student body there was around two hundred and fifty at the time. There was only one teacher and class of about thirty students for every grade. There wasn’t a student or teacher that I didn’t know by name and because I had been going there since I was five years old, I really didn’t know any other way.…

    How Opa Changed My Life

    I was nerve-wrecked, but I did my best in presenting my project. When the winners were announced, I was eagerly listening with a mildly beating heart. I was very disappointed when my name was not called. I was devastated, as I was an immature child at that time. I started tearing up and began doubting myself. My family and friends tried to console me, but eventually gave up. However, one thing that my teacher had said stuck with me. She said, “Life is too short for you to be doubting yourself; just try again next year and who knows, you might win”; I kept that piece of advice with me wholeheartedly. The following year, when I was in eighth grade, I participated in the science fair again. I put in the same effort, but one thing was different; my perspective. I thought that if I do win, then it will be an accomplishment for me. However, if I did not then it would act as a learning experience. I confidently presented my project to the judges with an open mind and no nerve-wrecking…

    Argumentative Essay On Child Pageants

    The idea of child pageants creates much conflict and discouragement to others whom do not have children. Young girls whom participate in this activity are portrayed as sex objects just as women are as models because they are subjected to looking older and much more sensual. However, in some cases having children in child pageants creates social skills along with comfortability performing in front of others. The idea of little girls being entered into child pageants is intimidating to most people due to the fact that children are not supposed to look like adults until they are old enough. Many people frown upon the whole concept of a child being exposed to older men and women having them wear makeup and flirtatious outfits. As older women are also involved in beauty pageants, they too go through extreme acts of body changes making it harder for parents to fathom. Restricting little girls from engaging in beauty pageants or contests protects them from dangerous people along with remaining pure with their self-worth, learning to live as a child and not a woman, and retaining a healthy emotional mind.…

    I chose to compete in the robotics and automation technology contest. I have always been interested in robots and how they work. Until then, I had no experience working with robots so I was really nervous, I did not have much confidence in myself. Not only did I have a few months to learn everything I can about robotics while keeping up with my schoolwork, and balancing my part-time job, but I also had to evaluate myself as a person. I was on the Internet and at the library every spare minute I had learning everything I could. I ordered kits off the Internet to practice working with robots so there were no surprises during the competition. It was hard work, but it paid off. Although I did not place at the competition, I did really well considering I started learning about robotics five months prior to the competition and I was competing against students who had years of experience on the robotics team at their high school.…

    Personal Narrative: The Small Ensemble

    I dreaded auditioning and felt embarrassed that I had not made it. I stopped enjoying my chorus class and most of the time just wanted it to end. The next year came along and I felt as if I was not fit to be in chorus and I was not going to progress. But my parents encouraged me to take it, so I took the class. I really enjoyed myself and learned even if I did not make it into Small Ensemble. I started to enhance my singing by not just singing for school but by singing with my church's worship band. In the worship band I learned to perform and project my voice. Being taught different things from these activities I helped my worship band by teaching them how to read notes instead of just chords. I was content with all of what I learned and I was looking forward to what else I could bring to both my school chorus and worship band. At the end of the year, there were auditions for Small Ensemble for the next year. I did not think of trying out but my music director encouraged me to try out again. The reason why I wanted to join this time was so I could help strength the weakness of my chorus class and worship…

    Stereotypes In Beauty Pageants

    Imagine, being a little girl all done up like a Barbie doll, with a fake tan and fake nails. Imagine, being a little girl and not being able to nap after being awake for hours on end, for fear of disheveling your appearance. Imagine, being a little girl dressed up in a too-tight dress and high heels, prancing around on a stage for hundreds of people, being judged based on your looks. Imagine, being a little girl, standing with all of your opponents, and hearing the judges call the name of another little girl who won first place, watching all that you’ve worked for be placed in the perfectly manicured hands of someone else. Would you ever want to be put through this? Well, girls who are in beauty pageants deal with this and so much more every…

    Miss Tree University Accomplishment

    I was sitting backstage waiting to be called back up for crowning to get it over with and get out of the very uncomfortable dress. Finally they called the contestants back on stage. I stood at the very end of the contestant line. The first award the announced was Miss Congeniality, the announcer spoke into the microphone and stated Morgan Nobbe as the winner of the award. They placed a sash on my shoulder and continued on with the award ceremony. Next was second runner up and first runner up and like in sports I applauded for the winners. Finally it was down to the big award, the one that everyone had wanted. I stood there thinking I got Miss Congeniality and one of the older girls would win but was happy I was not going home empty handed and I had something to show that I stepped out of my comfort zone. The announcer began to announce the winner of the pageant and I was ready to clap but then the unthinkable happened, the announcer said my name. I am pretty sure that I went into shock when Miss Tree City 2013 was placing the crown on my head. Who would have thought that a short farm girl would win a…
