proud aunt

My niece, Stephanie, is a junior in high school. She competed in the Junior Miss Sylvan Beach pageant last year and won Miss Congeniality. Last night, she competed in the next level - Miss Sylvan Beach - and placed as first runner up. We are all very proud of her achievement!

No matter how one feels about beauty pageants, they are quite rigorous in this day in age. The interview counts for more than 50 % of their score. She wowed them when they asked her to improvise. Stephanie is known for having a lot of humor and won a class clown award. She had them rolling in laughter by the end of the interview.

Next year she'll be a senior and will compete one last time. This year, she won a $1000 scholarship plus she won the raffle last night too! A $150 prize... it was definitely her night.

We love you Stephanie... and all of your family couldn't be more proud...
