At Miss Capital City, during my closing words, I mentioned that in fourth grade I met Miss Georgia during my school’s pride program. I got to go on stage and read a poem to her. I even wrote about it in my journal. I have the journal and thought I would share the entry (I wrote it the same word-for-word):
“Bless my heart. My little heart was filled with joy when I came up on stage and resited a beautyful poem for Miss Georga and it goes like this- Though many of lifes pleasurs may change from year to year, special people never change easup to grow more dear. Just like a chearist memory they have a place apart, a place reserved forever in the cornor of my heart. Another thing I am proud of is the great relationship Charlotte and I have grown closer this month as friends and as family and she is glad she moved here and I am too. The most important thing I am proud of that acrued this February is my goals I’ve worked even harder on. My goal to be be a better Cristan and my goal to be a vetinaran. These are all the things I am proud of!! Also I want to be Miss Georga.“
Well—- My spelling hasn’t changed very much, but I have grown like 4 feet!!! I CRACK UP everytime I read this, but I also think it is soooooo cool that I wanted to be Miss GA (Georga) in 4th grade and now here I am!!! This is always in the back of my mind when I hear a cute little kid express their very vivid, very BIG dreams. I don’t EVER discourage or tell them to think of something more practical. Instead, I tell them my 4th grade story and how I wrote in my journal that I would be Miss Georgia someday!! See, Dreams DO come true!!!
