Pagent

Have you ever been in a pagent? I have been in two beauty pagents. When I was about seventeen years old, I was in an Italian pagent called "Queen Di Constantinople." This is an Italian pagent that is held every year, in June.
My parents put me in the pagent two years ago, and I won First place. Of course, I was in complete shock! I had to send in an essay, which said "what are your goals? What do you want to do with your life? What school do you want to go to? who is your role model?" All of those things.
So i sent in my essay and they picked me to be in the pagent. I represented "Palo Del Cole," which is my town in Italy. I went again fifteen other girls and they all represented their town. When we went to New Jersey, the place the pagent was held. I had to wear an elegant gown and answered a couple of questions, mainly the same questions i had to write about in the essay. There were four judges, in the end they picked one winner, and the winner was me!
I was so proud of myself that i won! I couldn't believe it! Even my parents couldn't believe it!
I always feel that there is always someone better than you! I couldn't believe that I won.
I was crowned Queen and the other girls are princesses.
So last night I went to a dinner dance, at MAESTROS in the Bronx. It was beautiful that they honored me and the quest of honors, who picked me to be the Queen. My boyfriend and my mom was so proud of me! and my brothers and my dad were working, they couldn't come.
