It is such a great program and I was very happy that they asked me to join them this evening. I had been excited all week to see the kids, but when I had arrived I was almost nervous! For the first time I felt nervous because it all of a sudden hit me. When I was these little girls ages, I use to watch Miss Mississippi on tv with my mother every year. I looked up to those women, and they became my role model. I could not believe when I saw my reflection walking in, with that crown on my head, that I was about to be that role model for those girls, I had once admired. It's so crazy to think this is what I have dreamed of for so long. I had carefully planned out what the younger generation needed to hear, to care for them, to give them the very best of me, and now its what I'm doing everyday!
The girls were instantly fascinated by the crown. So we had a little one on one time. We discussed dreaming big, the importance of working hard for your goals, the success of rewards from dedication, and last but not least.....making good decisions, good morals, and picking good friends. I wanted these girls to understand that the importance of their future starts NOW. They were full of questions and eager to listen.
Words cannot describe how thankful I am for the opportunities I have been given to be a role model to the younger generation. It really is a motivation to keep working hard. I want to give them the very best of me. And I have had so many wonderful talks with kids making a ton of changes in attitude and behavior. They are my biggest fan. Honestly, I need them just as much as they have shown they need me. God is so great for leading me into such wonderful opportunities. I hope I can continue to glorify His name, with my many blessings He has so graciously rewarded me.
