I AM Little Miss Greenville Sunburst

Last night I was so nervous! But I did it.  I got up on stage and did my beauty walk and interview question.  The pageant director even told me I looked perfect.  So I was crowned Little Miss Sunburst for Greenville NC.  I also won Prettiest Hair, Prettiest Eyes, Most Photogenic, Best Attire, Best Model look, most beautiful, and Prettiest Smile. I am also qualified to go to the State Competion in Charlotte NC which we are going to do the first week in May.  Even though I was nervous it was so much fun.  I had so many people there from Elizabeth City to cheer me on like My grandma and grandpa, my mom, Rene and Gabe, Hanna and Kathy and April.  They were all cheering for me and it helped me so much.  I came home with two trophies, a crown and six medals.  Thank you to everyone who was there cheering me on!!!!!!!!!

I am finnaly all done with home work.  So I have decidied to play on the computer for a while then I am gonna get back to proacticing my  beauty walk.  I even practice at school when I am walking down the hall and when I am at gym.  I told my mom that yesterday I wasmy  practicing in gym class and she was so proud of me.   We are gonna try to go to the theatre maybe during the day and have a practice on the stage there.  I have also got my interview speech all done.  I am gonna say "Hello my name is Savannah Hess and I am 10 years old.  I am in the 4th grade.  I love puppies and kittens and my favorite sport is soccer.  When I grow up I want to be a marine mammel vet."  I have been practicing saying that over and over.  My mom will look at me out of no where and say Beauty Smile.  When she does that I look at her and smile.  That really helps me with getting a perfect smile.  Now I am off to practice my walking again. 

I also want to say thank you to all who have donated so far

Learning about pageants

Today I learned something new about the pageant world.  My mom asked me if I thought it was good for my name to be called first or last and I said first ofcoarse.  I thought if I got called first then I was in first place.  Well I was wrong.  My mom explained two things to me.  First off it does not matter when my name get called as long as I tried my best I am always first place to her and second the way of the pageant world.  The way the pageant works is this, if you don't get called right away that is actually good.  If you get a crown for your age you usually don't get the overall title for the whole pageant.  The big crown means you had the best score out of everyone.  Thats ok though I am just going to try my hardest cause I want the big trophy and crown but if I don't win I will know I tried my hardest and that is all that matters.  As long as I have fun I know my family will be proud but I really do want the big trophy cause it would be cool to show off

SWIMWEAR AND EVENING GOWN PINK PINK PINK

Happy Valentines DAY!!!!!!!!!!

This morning my mom had me try on my swim wear for the pageant.  It is a two piece pink suit.  it has shiney pink flowers allover it with beads that hang from the bottom of the top.  It is so shiney and shimmery I really love it.  My Grandma is fixing my gown which is also pink.  and has alot of shiney stones on it. 

Today I am going to practice my slow beauty walk with my pageant shoes on.  I wore them for the first time yesterday and even though the heel in not that big they are a little hard for me to walk in.  My Grandma and my mom said the more I practice the easier it will get.  I hope they are right.  I am getting more excited everyday about my pageant.
