Question Posted Thursday January 11 2007, 12:59 pm
HELLO EVERYONE! I need some help, I want to enter my school pagent but I don't know what I want to do for my talent. I don't play any instruments, but I really want to win. I want to be original though, and I know of this one girl that's going to sing, and she can sing, I can too, but i don't want to sing. PLEASE HELP ME Find something to do.

1. you need a talent? if you don't immediately think of one you really know well you probably shouldn't enter the pageant. when I heard the announcement I thought "gee. here is a chance for me to play handbells after taking lessons for 8 years. I can try it solo! woohoo!" and so I signed up. I honestly don't plan on winning, but I'm excited to play in competition.
2. pageants are not just talent. depending on the pageant you may have to model or dance or interview or do all of those. the one I'm in has me dancing in 4 different group dances and one couple dance. I work my ass off to learn everything because I'm NOT a dancer. as for interviewing, that was included and judged in my audition. you need to have an edge that makes you completely different than any other girl. in my interview I was asked what ice cream I'd be if I was one and I said rice dream mint carob chip because I'm lactose intolerant. I also explained that the ice cream was completely allergy free and my goal in life is to make myself as perfect at communicating and being a good person to others as possible so that no one had a reason to dislike me. find out what else is involved in the pageant and realistically ask yourself if you can even do those things.
3. don't focus on winning. judges don't like it. they're looking for a humble person who'll become a leader later on NOT a pompous jack-ass.
