It's gone by fast...but all good things must come to end - a look back at Kendra Berger's year, Miss Minnesota Jr. Teen 2010
All
good things must come to an end. My year as the Miss Minnesota Jr.Teen
went by way too fast! During this year I traveled to the Illinois and
Nebraska pageants as visiting royalty where I got to see many of my old
friends, and meet new ones. I participated in the Race for the Cure Walk
with my sister queens and my mom on Mother's Day. I rode in parades,
and worked at the NAM open calls and pageant prep sessions, which were
so much fun!
In November I represented Minnesota at the
National Pageant in California. My favorite moment was modeling on stage
at the Red Carpet Awards and being announced 2nd runner up in the
Casual Wear competition. I also loved going to Disneyland, touring
Hollywood and having fun at the beach.
At other state pageants
and nationals I met a lot of amazing girls. To a couple of my closest
queens... Karlee, every time I was with you we laughed till my stomach
hurt. Thank you for our amazing time in Hollywood and running around on
the beach! And of course Cortlyn, thank you for being my best friend
over the years. We have gotten so close and I'm so happy you are in my
life. How awesome it is that we got to be state queens together not just
once but twice! I love you and your family so much!
To some very
special people I have been with all year…..my sister queens Ava,
Courtney, Sophie, Brittany and Ellise....you all will always have a
special place in my heart. I love you guys!
And to my state
directors Ken and Lani, and staff Breanne, Ryan, Molly, and Lindsey and
close friends Anna, Linda and Steven....thank you all for your support
and fun times this year. As a result of this great organization and all
of you, I have really grown as a young woman over the past 6 years.
To
my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, brother, mom and dad, you have
been there for me every step of the way. Thank you for always believing
in me and supporting me and my dreams.
To all of the pageant
contestants, even though only one girl will be crowned, remember how
much you have accomplished in preparing and competing in the pageant.
Never stop reaching for your dreams.
In closing to my successor,
make your year memorable and always remember that moment when they
announced your name. It will be the start of something truly amazing
that you will never forget.
And now for the last time, I am your National American Miss Minnesota Jr. Teen 2010-2011....
