Are you interested in expanding and discovering your skills and confidence in your daily life? Do you have special talents you want to showcase on stage? Ladies and gentlemen both, please read further.
Participating in the 2023 Ms. Oklahoma Senior America pageant has undoubtedly been one of the best decisions of my life. Let me elaborate on that. I had fun creating my magical opportunity to compete in my style and manner. Committing to participate gave me a reason to be creative in my talents and shop! Shopping for my gowns and accessories was exciting and a blast!
Also, another byproduct of entering the pageant caused me to stretch and improve my skills of, confidence, talent, conversation, public speaking, creativity, establishing relationships, meeting people I never would have had the opportunity to meet, and expanding my perspective of how to live my life as a senior citizen and encourage other senior citizens to stay in the game and live their best life. I truly believe it is never too late to dream and be productive. I have made life-long friendships with outstanding ladies across the United States. Entering strengthened me to be the best I could be. There are countless other benefits. What benefits will you discover?
