| Ms. Cynthia Says... Being a mentor to young people for over 19 years through leadership programs, teaching, coaching, and personal training has brought personal satisfaction to my heart. I believe that teaching our daughters and sons to find their strength and values at a young age will serve them well throughout their entire life. I want to encourage our youth to become involved in their communities as well as their government in roles of leadership and service. The Miss Memorial Day Scholarship Organization and Pageant strives to provide girls with opportunities to learn about their country and their government through service projects, meeting their leaders, and volunteering. Along the way we have fun as we develop confidence in each young woman. Each of our queens will grow during their reigning year. I enjoying seeing a contestant strive to become better with each pageant. Working with young ladies and watching them grow as they become confident in themselves with each pageant they enter is the enjoyable part of this organization. Pageantry offers our daughters the opportunity to grow and serve. Pageant girls gain confidence and confidence is an ingredient necessary to become a great leader. I am thrilled to see the hard work of my trainees evolve into winning titles at the local ,high school, and state levels. When asked, "Ms Cindy, what are the judges looking for and who are your girls tonight?" The answer is always the same. All judges are looking for a confident , poised, leader who is disciplined, dynamic and knows who she is. I am proud to have coached many title holders for Mill Creek, Buford, Dacula, Meadowcreek, & North Gwinnett as well as state and national pageants. When they put the crown on one of my girl's head, I know that this new queen was able to convey to the judges- who she is, what she is made of, and what she stands in life. These qualities are the qualities of a winner in pageants and in life. |
