My experience was amazing. I made so many friends, friends that I know that I will treasure forever. We had SUCH a great time backstage, from dance offs, to sing offs, to Tengo competitions, to writing Oscar winning screen plays. I was inspired at how all of the girls knew who they were, and stayed true to themselves the entire weekend. We had a BLAST.The Miss NH local title holders are AMAZING. Thank you for being such great big sisters and role models for me. Krystal, you rock! I am super psyched to be your little (or same size... go 5 feet!) sister! Thank you for your love and support from you and your family.
