be prom queen

It’s my junior year, I am hoping I will get this. I don’t think I will, but it would certainly make my life. Well, at least for a few years.

I made the varsity volleyball team don’t play much
I’m in the yearbook staff at my school
People get excited when they see me with a camera and sometimes ask me when I’m going to take pictures at a football game again.

I am very nice I think. I’m the only person that I know of that runs around giving people hugs and hi-fives. I’ve always had a self esteem problem even tho. i’m told i’m pretty alot.

I would like to win Prom Queen; to prove something to myself.

well im gunna be a senior this year and i know im running for prom queen. This goal sends my adrenalin rushing and makes me want to be such a great leader. I want to show people how great a person i am and how much i love to help regardless the situation. As a junior i expressed my struggle as a teenage mother in foster care and how im pulling threw. Now i will take the stage confident, reherse and when I WIN prom queen i want to make it a pointg that you can be anything you let yourself be.

I was that girl in high school who didn’t have a group…I wasn’t rude to people just for the hell of it. I genuinely liked my entire class. Still, when I was one of the six girls nominated for prom queen I had a heart attack. I went into the bathroom and called my mom…I thought people were planning a “Carrie”-esque pig’s blood surprise. But she was so proud of me that I had to accept the nomination and run anyway.

Prom night arrived and I was as relaxed as could be. I knew I wasn’t going to win; I wasn’t in sports, I wasn’t tall and thin and rich and beautiful, like the other girls. When it came time for crowning I stood way in the back..instead of standing in a straight line, we made more of a V, because of me. I was staring at the girl I thought was going to win. When I felt the combs of the crown slide onto my head, my heart stopped. I was so unprepared and flustered…I don’t think I even smiled. All the pictures are of me with my hands over my face..not your typical prom queen, beaming smile. Oops. But it was fun and made me realize that people did like me, and to stop being so damn hard on myself. It didn’t change my life but it does give my mom a nice story to tell! :) If she’s happy, I’m happy.

When most of my classmates found out I was running for Prom Queen, they were shocked. After all, I am the tall, heavyset girl that always does her work. My decision to run did help me see who my true friends were. First round voting is tomorrow and I am as nervous as I could be. But I am not running for the same reason as the other girls. While they all want to simply wear the crown, I am running for an entirely different reason. When I have children one day, I don’t want them to give up on a dream because they are afraid of failure. It’s like Hilary Duff says in “A Cindarella Story”: Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

I won prom queen and it definitely not something I ever expected…however, I was feeling happy and confident that night and I think that was what mattered. I walked tall with self-consciousness and smiled loads and that’s what makes someone really stand out.

I’m not who most people would expect to win prom queen. But, I did it, just by having fun, dancing, going all out to make the night memorable. So, if I did it, anyone’s capable!

In a class of almost 600 kids..I was def. not the first person that came to mind to be chosen as prom queen. But all thoughout high school I was kind and friendly to everyone.. It all pays off :)

I always said I wanted to be prom queen when I was little..but I never believed it would come true. :)

heh yeah :)
