Date Posted: 15:57:18 01/30/14 Thu It makes me so proud to see the Miss CA Class of 2013 taking a stand against the bullying that goes on in this organization. I, too, absolutely LOVE the Miss CA Organization so much that I became an Executive Director the moment I aged out but there was indeed a horrible time where I too was bullied by only the lord knows who on this board. In 2009, I was given the opportunity to go back to Miss CA as an open titleholder and little did I know that meant becoming a target for extreme scrutiny by people who knew NOTHING about me. I was strung out over the coals for my height, weight, looks, wardrobe, and especially my talent. I know, BETTER than anyone, that singing was not my strong suit but thats not why I entered this program. I entered to earn over $21,000 in scholarship over 8 years, to meet my best friends and to form relationships with volunteers who have shaped my life. From all that bullying, I, happy little me, went through a deep depression and thought, "being a part of this can't be worth what I am going through" and almost left this organization forever. It took my friends and family pulling me up from my boot straps and living by the words, "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" to move forward. Thank goodness I didn't let it get the best of me because being Miss Marin County 2011 two years later will forever be one of the best years of my entire life. Who knows who HAS left because of bullying and what they could have done for our program? Im proud of this class. Its time someone said #standup [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
