Participant # 5

The summer before my senior year, I enrolled myself in the Washington County Junior Miss Program. Junior Miss has been around for about 42 years, and most high school girls have the opportunity to compete in it. We had to compete in the following areas: talent, self-expression, interview, scholastic, and fitness. I first had to think of a talent, so I decided to dance to "Old time rock & roll." I had so much fun making up my dance routine, ordering my costume, and picking out what music I wanted to dance to. 2:30 on the afternoon of June 9th, 2007, I waited nervously until I went for my interview. It went well, and I was ready to perform the rest on stage. After 4 months of practice, and getting prepared for the big day, this was it and I was ready to go. Of course, I was very nervous but I was ready to get on stage where all the attention would be on me. My family was so proud of me, and I had tons of flowers, cards, and good luck gifts. The audience clapped for me, and I finally heard my name come over the intercom and it was my turn to dance. "Next is participant # 5 Abby Smith performing an original rock and roll dance routine to "Old time rock & roll." I was full of smiles, and ready to perform the dance that I worked so hard on. Before I knew it, the program was over, and all the stress was finished with. Jr.miss was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it to any girl.

wow, I tip my hat off to you girl. Because if I was to do that my knee's would buckle like cooked noodles. Or I would be the ugliest girl in the whole room! but that could work to my advantage and win the contest.
