Miss Illinois USA 2015
Donation protected
Hello to my friends and family. I was accepted to represent Normal in the 2015 Miss Illinois USA pageant the last weekend in August. I bet you all are wondering, what in the world? Amber is not a "pageant girl". This is something that I have wanted to do for some time now and I have finally decided to go for it. If nothing else, I believe that it will help with my poise and confidence and public speaking while stepping out of my comfort zone. My goal is to prove to myself that fear cannot stop me from trying to reach for my goals. My passion in life is to be a role model to young girls that look up to me. As I was a high school cheerleader, competition cheerleader and a college cheerleader, I was considered someone to look up to and a leader. I want to continue mentoring young aspiring cheerleaders. I currently coach a competition team and teach tumbling classes to young girls. I want to emphasize that no matter what your circumstance in life you can accomplish goals that you set for yourself. Even if I don't place in the top, it's still a goal I will accomplish. I have been known to be on the shy side so this is a big step for me. I want young girls to feel empowered and not defined by what magazines or commercials and models say we should look like to be perfect. As I always remind myself that "Nobody and NO BODY is perfect". We should all shine in our own way and be proud of who we are.
I am currently a cosmetologist working at a higher end salon. I will be returning to college this fall to accomplish another goal of mine, which is Radiography Technology. I still plan on working full time at the salon and coaching while going back to school, as I love doing hair and makeup artistry. It makes me happy helping people look and feel beautiful.
I would truly appreciate support from any of my friends and family or businesses as your company name will be in the official pageant program. Time is running out as I started this process a little late, but I could not do this without you.
Love to all,
Amber
