Subject: I guess I would hope that if this were my daughter & she wanted to compete in the MAO, I'd encourage her first & foremost to do the work in her personal development, not just pageant development, in order to uphold the ideals of what the program stands for. She'd have to earn her spot honestly & on her own merit. I wouldn't encourage her to look for ways to circumvent the qualifications. I'd discourage her from choosing a platform which could be in any way perceived as controversial based on personal history. As a parent, you want your kids to have everything they want, but sometimes they just aren't up to it. Maybe they're not a good enough athlete to play in college. Maybe they're not a good enough student to attend Harvard. And maybe they're not a good enough competitor to win Miss Illinois. The point, albeit the hardest one, is to teach them to have character in the face of disappointments, NOT that you should manipulate or let me buy your way in. | |
