Hello everyone! The last few weeks have flown by so quickly! Miss Virgin Islands was held on the 23rd of July. I won the Interview award, Fitness award, and Community service award. At the end of the night I walked away as the 1st runner up and with $6,000 in scholarships to use to further my education. Not bad if I must say so myself! =)
Since the pageant I have heard nothing but great things about my performance. I am extremely pleased about that because I worked very hard!! People with the community saw my talent and suggested that I try the Miss Virgin Islands Collegiate Pageant or the Miss Florida Caribbean Pageant. I'm currently doing the research on both pageants so I will be sure to keep you all posted on my next show! =)
Now that I have accomplished that goal, I move on to starting graduate school. I am attending the
Nova Southeastern University in Ft.Lauderdale,
FL. Classes begin on the 22nd of August so I am very excited and eager to begin my M.S. in Leadership. That gives me some time to find a great career in the area. I'm saddened to be leaving the Virgin Islands so soon, but its time that I focus on my career and with the recent 8% cuts on government salaries and rising unemployment rate; I know that there are better opportunities in
Florida. I am excited to be reunited with my battles and classmates in FL. =)
No matter where I am I will always continue my volunteer efforts and advocating higher education. Service and education has helped me to become a well-rounded citizen and I hope that all will see the benefits of both.
I promise not to take so long to right again *pinky promise*! But until I write again remember to always Live, Laugh and Love!
