Subject: I wish that people understood that these boards are giving pageantry a bad name

I had a great time, and met some wonderful women. As I had stated before in my previous posts, I knew that I would be around women who were not as nice and thoughtful as I would hope. This is so evident by the posts today. It humors me on how people take things. It would be nice if the same people who saw me pull the winner to the middle of the stage had noticed me speaking to Paula during the other awards letting her know that I thought Nomika had won and deserved it. I pulled Nomika to the front so that she could experience what it felt like to be out front and win. She has never done a pageant before and didn’t know that you were supposed to walk to the front. But of course I am just an attention getter. I guess that if I wouldn’t have followed instructions and stayed in the back I would have been hiding because I was so mad I didn’t win. I never would expect to win anything. I expect to do my best, which may not be enough. It is also so funny how immature and childish I am; yet I seem to be the only contestant with the maturity to sign my name. I really thought that all of the contestants bonded and had fun. I was obviously mistaken. I myself did not make top five last year, and I am SOOOOOO proud of myself for how far I made it. I looked back at last year and tried to improve on what I did wrong. I hope that all of the contestants can let go of this petty attitude and try and use pageantry as a growing and learning experience. By belittling people you are not bettering yourself, but lowering yourself. I look at pageants as time for me to have fun, and not be stressed. As a mother, wife, and business owner I don't have the time to have fun often. Class is not taught, it is a state of mind. Class, is being confidant, polite, and elegant. I saw nothing from either Paula or I that were not any of those things. Bashing people defiantly is not classy. Do you think that women in society well-known as classy have never let their hair down so to speak? I am sorry that you are bitter about your loss or whatever makes you dislike me. I am also sorry you mistook confidence as tackiness. I wish that this board would make up their mind, first I am poor and now I am just dressed up tackiness (lol). I hope that someday you realize the true meaning of pageantry.
