Headin into Finals

I had many really great conversations with each of the girls over the course of the competition week. Some were filled with anticipation and laughter, some with apprehension, some with tears of joy, and some with tears of pain. It was definitely a roller-coaster ride but nonetheless, it was coming to a close and the day we had all been working for was finally upon us. I truly believed that it was going to be a good night heading into Finals and I was at peace. Whatever the outcome, none of them left anything to regret, they left it all on that stage and there was nothing else they could do but perform to their personal best and let the chips fall where they may. Important Lesson #1 in pageants: Judging is subjective.
