This morning I had my long awaited interview with Shelia Gray. When I arrived I immediately had my hair and makeup done. Melissa arrived a little bit later. I was really starting to feel the pressure and was starting to become overwhelmed. I didn't know what questions Shelia would ask and was quite nervous about that. I also was terrified about it being live and having all of Cincinnati watching me. I could mess up at any moment or my brain could just freeze up! I knew that as long as I just kept true to myself I would be fine.
When it was finally time for me to go on air, my heart was racing. At first I slipped up a couple of times and you could tell I was nervous. It just shows you that I am normal and do not have as much experience giving interviews on live TV. But further along in my interview I became more comfortable and confident. Shelia helped me along too. She had told me to just focus on her and not worry about the cameras.
Shelia asked me several different questions about my education, the Girls On The Run Program, and what I would tell girls that were looking into getting involved with pageants. She also asked me about how it felt to have won, what I was doing now to get ready for Miss USA, and why I had gotten into pageants. I believe the interview went well. It is a starting point for me and now I know what I must improve on to be fully prepared for Miss USA. Next time you see me, I'll be even better that before! :)
