EXQUISITE POISE
By Carli Eubanks, per. 3, 11-16-11
When I was a young girl I would
watch America’s Next Top Model
every night with my mom. Tyra
Banks was my hero and I always
knew I wanted to be a model from
the day I started watching America’s
Next Top Model.
One summer when I went to check the mail
there was an envelope with my name on it.
When I opened it I saw that it was an invitation
for me to audition to be in a beauty pageant. I
was so excited, I begged my mom to let me go
until she finally agreed to take me.
When we arrived at
the pageant I was
extremely nervous. I
had spent an hour
picking out my dress
and getting ready. I
felt ugly compared to
all the other girls they
were so much prettier
than I was.
I felt ashamed that I had even entered
the pageant try outs everyone else was
so beautiful and intimidating. When I
finally built up the nerve to talk to the
girl who was sitting next to me she
actually said she liked my dress. I was
so happy she liked my dress that I had
a giant grin on my face up until we had
to go to our interviewers.
When it was time for the interviews I
sat down at a round table that one of
the woman was sitting at it. She
asked me all sorts of questions with
a never ending smile. I couldn’t help
but look away I tried to look her in
the eyes when I answered her but I
couldn’t.
I answered all the questions I was asked and
tried my hardest to keep eye contact.
Afterwards we lined up for our pictures to be
taken, thankfully my new friend was waiting for
me. When it was my turn I had trouble doing
the pose the cameraman wanted me to do.
About a week later I got a call from
the beauty pageant people saying
that if I wanted to I could compete in
the beauty pageant. I was ecstatic but
I had to decide if I should join or not.
I had to decide if I wanted to go through the
same stress I had that nigh or just forget it
and be able to relax. It was a really tough
choice because they actually believed in me
but then again I didn’t like to be under that
pressure.
In the end I decided not to be in the beauty
pageant it just seemed like to much stress
and extra work for me at the time because I
was already struggling in math and didn’t
need another distraction. I was also too
afraid that I would lose.
As a result of that day I became more
confident in myself. I still practice so that if I
ever have the chance do something like that
I can. I learned that meeting new people and
trying new things is not as scary as most
people make it out to be.
