With all that being said these next 14 days are going to fly by even faster! Before I get to these next 14 days I want to recap these past fews days. Friday was a fun filled day starting with zip lining with the current Miss Iowa and other current Miss Iowa contestants!
I enjoyed spending time and getting to know these ladies even better on a beautiful day.
After zip lining, my Miss Iowa roommate Alison and I drove from Dubuque to Davenport to join
Miss Iowa and other contestants at the Boys and Girls club for their Dance for Diversity. It was great to get out in the community and support these wonderful kids! While we were there we were able to play various games with the kids, watch performances and then test out our dance moves ourselves! 
Saturday I found out that I have finally become a Circle of Champions member! This means I have personally raised $1,000 for the March of Dimes this year! I am very happy with my accomplishment and couldn't of done it without the support of so many people.
Sunday morning, I was able to spend time with my wonderful ED Ashley, as we picked out all my outfits for the entire Miss Iowa week! We had a blast doing it and my cat Kinnick even helped out a little bit! It is now Sunday later afternoon and I am sitting at the studio passing out tickets
and recital t-shirts during daddy/ daughter rehearsal because tomorrow starts tech week for our recital. This next week is a really busy but very exciting week! Having a busy schedule all the time and juggling so many things at once is one of my weaknesses but it actually keeps me motivated and on track. Being busy with recital will make me wake up early and get to the gym and pack all my meals for the day so I can stay on track. It will keep my focused on preparing for Miss Iowa but it won't let me obsess on getting ready for Miss Iowa. It will also prepare me on keeping a very positive attitude under stressful situations all while being a role model for all of my students! Recital is a time to celebrate all of the success of the students hard work throughout the year and this is a big year for us as it is the Nolte Academy's 15th anniversary! Miss Iowa week and finals will be here before I know it and that makes me both very excited and very nervous. I was put at ease when I was reading the Pageant Junkie Newsletter. Here is the excerpt that resonated with me:
"Pageantry isn’t about being ‘the best’ in interview, or having ‘the best’ talent, or having ‘the best’ body, or offering ‘the best’ stage presence. Pageantry isn’t even about being well-rounded in each of these categories! Rather, pageantry is about making 5 different people (the judges) love you."
‘the best’ stage presence. Pageantry isn’t even about being well-rounded in each of these categories! Rather, pageantry is about making 5 different people (the judges) love you."It resonated with me because it reminded me that I will never be the best contestant in every category but I can be my best self. As long as I stay true to myself all week and compete as myself I will be happy with my results.
I will sign off today with these two quotes that encompass the same thought. If I can be a role model to anyone, specifically to my students, I want them to get these messages. I will compete for the title of Miss Iowa 2015 as Christy Scimeca and for everything I stand for and believe in and that will be enough.
XOXO, and enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening!
Christy Scimeca, Miss Pearl City 2015
