The event is set to take place in the international hub of transit, architecture and finance of Europe: Frankfurt, Germany. It is expected to host 130 contestants from countries all over the world, making it the largest (quantity-wise) beauty pageant as documented by the Guinness Book of World Records. “My decision to enter this pageant was one that weighed heavily on my mind for the past six months or so. However it was imperative that I continue to strive to set a standard not only for myself, but also an example to girls who look up to me as a resource for inspiration.

Schools shoudnever be without…

clipped from takingwellnesstoheart.blogspot.com No school should be without them — playgrounds, chalkboards, and the one thing that could save a student’s life in the event of a heart attack — a Defibrillator. In fact, two Arkansas students have already been saved with the help of and AED this year. Take action and help put an AED in every Arkansas school! Last year you helped us pass a law that requires an AED for every school. But because of funding issues not every school has one. Lawmakers have cut funding for this program but Governor Beebe still considers this issue a priority. We need to have every lawmaker consider funding AEDs in schools a priority. By taking action today you will be doing two things. You will: 1. Ask your State Representative and State Senator to find funding for AEDs and 2. Thank Governor Beebe for remaining committed to this issue. Defibrillators in Arkansas: no school should be without one.

Mercedes Marathon 2010

clipped from justjoysroyalappearances.blogspot.com I spent the morning of Valentine’s Day as “reigning royalty” at Birmingham’s prestigious Mercedes Marathon. I manned the coffee station of “The Royal Mile,” our company-sponsored mile. With snow still on the ground in places, we braved the cold temperatures to serve coffee and donuts as a record ten thousand runners whizzed by. As the 23rd mile of the full marathon, it took some time to see the front runner. Coffee was really popular during the brisk morning hours, with both spectators and runners alike. Surprisingly, I served as many donuts to the runners as to the spectators!

clipped from thevictimsvoices.blogspot.com You MUST Talk about Sexting with Your Kids by Lori Getz Monday, February 8, 2010 from http://www.momlogic.com/ A recent momlogic survey uncovered some interesting yet not surprising results: Teens are sexting, and parents didn’t have a clue. So now that we know what it is and that many teens ARE in fact participating … it’s time to talk about how to start the conversation: Don’t make it a BIG talk! Teenagers can smell a lecture from a mile away.

Jan/Feb. Events

clipped from missnorthcarolinainternational09.blogspot.com I have had a great month of some amazing events! After ringing in the New Year for 2010, on Jan. 7th in support of my friend Stacey and her goal of raising enough money ($6,000) for Make A Wish Foundation, to fund one wish for a child with life-threatening medical conditions I went to my old high school and spoke on her work for the cause! I went back to Northwest High School to speak about Make A Wish, the school gave her $1.00 from every ticket sold, and we took over $250.00 in donations. Stay tuned for a picture slideshow of these events and for more events in the my final two weeks as the reigning Miss North Carolina International 2009!
