Prelims!

What a whirlwind of a day! Today we received our Miss Connecticut class shirts thanks to CT Threads and had a blast rocking them in rehearsals! After many rehearsals and last minute preparations we competed in preliminary competition! I am so proud of my performance and loved sharing my talent costume by Nicole Elaine with the organization and all the viewers! I also rocked swimsuit thanks to HealthTrax and felt like a dream in my gown thanks to Juan and Caesar of Juan Carlos Gowns. However, after all was said and done I am most proud of having been awarded the Miss America Academic Award! The Miss America Organization has been a large part of my educational journey and is the reason I am working on my 5th college degree debt free (over 70,000 in scholarships)! To be recognized for my dedication and handwork in academia was an honor and I look forward to continuing to promote what this organization has to offer over and over again!

XOXO Lauren
