Volunteering and pageants

Some people get mad at us for doing so many pageants or winning so many titles, but I don't agree with them. I think if you win the bigger titles as long as you can fairly represent them all you have a right to them. When Sheridan started competing seriously at about the age of 10 she ended up having 3 titles that year, Miss Northern Suburbs OPT 2010, IL Preteen Miss American Coed 2010 and Northern Illinois Scholarship Pageant (NISP) Junior Supreme Star. That year she made time to volunteer in all three organizations representing her title. She had at least 102 hours between all 3 programs, if not more. So my point in this post is that volunteering and representing the title is key to any pageant queen's responsibility. You don't just win a title, prizes, crown and sash. Sheridan volunteered this past weekend for 5 hours at a local church food pantry. This is a monthly pantry where we often like to go and help out, every 3rd saturday of the month. This weekend we are going to Bernie's book bank for the open volunteering time on saturday from 9-11 and Sunday for Bernie's we are wrapping gifts for a 5 hour shift at a local Barnes and Noble book store. I am sure while Sheridan is off from school we will go to our favorite animal shelter and sit in the cat room and pet/socialize the cats. We love our time there volunteering.
