Emily Drooby Essay You may be one of many who believe that pageants are just about outer beauty, but what you don’t realize is that competing in a pageant can completely change a person’s life. I owe a lot to pageants. When I was little I was agoraphobic. I was afraid of the world so I completely isolated myself. After years of trying to conquered these fears, I was able to rejoin the world. But my years of isolation led to low self-confidence which made me an easy target for bullies. There was one girl in particular who bullied me for years. Every single day I would come home from school and just cry away my frustration. Between my agoraphobic past and the new bullying issues, I had lost all of my self confidence. I never thought of myself in a good way. It was a really low point in my life. By seventh grade my parents decided that I had to do something to pull me out of my self-confidence slump. One day the MISS NATIONAL AMERICAN MISS pageant sent me a letter saying that I was eligible to compete. My mom was skeptical at first but she finally gave in to my begging. I competed in my first pageant because I wanted one day that I could dress up and feel pretty and confident. I never knew that my first pageant experience would change me so much. Pageants are about more than being beautiful on the outside. You have to have poise, intelligence, stage presence, and you have to be a good public speaker. In the real world all of these qualities are essential to being successful. Since my first pageant, I have competed in 5 other pageants (two of which I won, and three of which I walked away with the coveted Miss Congeniality title). I have also gained many new friends along the way and I am no longer afraid to come to school. I got a job in a store where i have to talk to people the entire time. None of this would have been possible without the confidence that I gained through pageants. Beauty pageants changed my life for the better and I will always stand up for them.

Creative Piece It's like a suction cup You want to run but you just get sucked back in It's like a whirlpool You try to break away from the current But you just can't It sweeps you farther out to sea until you've been pulled out so far that your lost forever floating at sea Never to return You see his face instantly in the sea of people that pass you everyday a nice gesture pulls you back to land but a quick turn sends you back out farther and farther until your not sure if you'll ever be able to come back.

Thank you notes

Dear Carolyn (Mom), Thank you so much for supporting me this year. Whether it's late night study fests, running out at 10 pm for extra credit candy, cupcakes or binders or just putting up with me when I'm in a bad mood. You never yelled at me when i had last minute homework, instead you continue to supported me no matter what I do. I love you so much! Thank you, Emily

Dear Mrs Seb, Chemistry is much harder than people let on! But no matter what problems I had I always knew that i could count on you to help me out. You never complained when I needed help during lunch, after school or advisory. I'm sure i got on your nerves at some point but no matter what you always helped me out. You would always help me to bring my grade up to where i wanted it. I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything!
