Believe in Yourself /Have Faith in Your Abilities

Two very important statements aren't they?  If you BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and we've talked about that a lot in the past here and HAVE FAITH IN YOUR ABILITIES, sooner or later you will accomplish your goals in life!  But you've got to have a plan as well.  It's real good to motivate yourself with a positive mindset BUT nothing in the world can replace PLANNING and HARD WORK when it comes to achieving your goals.  My goal is to represent Delaware and win a Miss USA title someday soon.  I've been working real hard since my first attempt last year where I was fortunate to be the 4th Runner Up in the Miss Delaware Teen USA Pageant. 

Since then, I've competed in several pageants in an effort to build up my ability to present myself appropriately and contend for another shot at the Miss Delaware Teen USA title.  Most recently, I was fortunate to be among the 6 Finalists at the Miss Teen All American Pageant together with Miss Aloha Ashlee Kozuma who won that presitigious title from Hawaii, Kelsey Landy a multiple Miss Pennsylvania Teen World, Teen Coed and Perfect Teen, the 2009 Miss ConneticutTeen USA title holder Tiffany Texiera, the 2009 Oklahoma Teen USA title holder Chelsea Colvard and the 2009 Kansas Teen Title Holder Alexis Rewalt!  As the youngest contestant I can tell you I learned a lot from these fine young women some of whom will be 20 years old this year!  But more important I learned so much from my mentor Nicole Bosso, Miss Delaware USA 2007 and coach Vincenza Carrieri Russo, Miss Delaware USA 2008 and dear friend and supporter Ashley James, Miss Delaware Teen USA 2005.   They all taught me to PLAN TO WIN then WORK MY PLAN. 

So even though you've got to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and HAVE FAITH IN YOUR ABILITIES, listen carefully please never forget to PLAN YOUR WORK and WORK YOUR PLAN!

Until next time...
