Last night was an experience that I will remember forever. I had such a great time getting to know the other contestants and preparing for the show during the day. I had the opportunity to meet so many talented, intelligent, and beautiful young women and I congratulate everyone for a job well done! It is amazing how many wonderful people this organization attracts! I thank all of my friends and family for coming out and supporting me- thank you to my parents, my Gamma Phi Beta sisters, my Nana, Grandma, Derek, and Auntie Joan for making the trip to see the Miss Grand Forks competition!
I look forward to getting out into the community of Grand Forks and the local Elementary schools. I hope to educate parents and educators about my platform and inspire young children to pick up a book a read, teaching them that the key to unleashing their potential and reaching their goals is through literacy and leadership. I hope to be a positive role model for young children in the community, and inspire them to be the best they can be!
I am a very determined individual, and I plan to work very hard from now until June in preparation for the Miss North Dakota pageant. This will be my first trip to a state level pageant, but I will not let that hold me back. I plan to further develop my platform, prepare for my interview, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I plan to make this title an important aspect in my life in order to put my best foot forward at the Miss North Dakota pageant. I look forward to representing the city of Grand Forks this June!
Finally, congratulations to Emily Burkland- Miss Grand Forks 2011 for a great year. You have been a great role model in the community, and to everyone in this local organization. You are truly and inspiration!
