My Beauty Pageant Days Are Over
A Memoir
By Jane Doe
I was 16 years old when I won my first beauty pageant. I was tall and thin, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. I had always been told that I was pretty, but I never thought of myself as a beauty queen. I was more interested in books and science than makeup and fashion.

But when my mom saw an ad for a local pageant, she encouraged me to enter. She said it would be a good way to build my confidence and meet new people. I was hesitant at first, but I eventually agreed to give it a try.
I spent the next few weeks practicing my walk, my poise, and my answers to the interview questions. I also got a spray tan and bought a new dress. On the day of the pageant, I was nervous, but I also felt excited. I knew that I had worked hard, and I was ready to give it my all.
The pageant was held in a small town auditorium. There were about 20 other contestants, all of whom were beautiful and talented. I competed in the swimsuit, evening gown, and interview competitions. I did well in all three, and I was eventually crowned Miss Teen [Town Name].
Winning the pageant was a dream come true. I was thrilled to have won, and I was proud of myself for all of the hard work that I had put in. I spent the next year traveling to different events and representing my town. I met many interesting people and had some amazing experiences.
But the pageant world also had its dark side. I saw firsthand how competitive and cutthroat it could be. I also saw how some of the contestants were treated by the pageant organizers. They were often pressured to lose weight, get plastic surgery, and dye their hair. I was lucky to have a supportive family and friends who helped me to stay grounded.
After my year as Miss Teen [Town Name], I decided to retire from the pageant world. I was ready to move on to other things. I went to college, got a job, and started a family. But I never forgot my pageant days. They were a formative experience, and they taught me a lot about myself.
I wrote this memoir to share my story with others. I want to show people what the pageant world is really like. I want to inspire others to be themselves and to never give up on their dreams.
Excerpt from Chapter 1
I stood backstage, my heart pounding in my chest. I could hear the sound of the audience cheering as the current contestant walked across the stage. It was almost my turn.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm my nerves. I had been practicing for this moment for months, but I still couldn't shake the feeling of doubt. What if I tripped? What if I forgot my lines?
Suddenly, I heard my name being called. I took one last deep breath and stepped out onto the stage.
The lights were blinding, and the audience seemed to stretch on forever. I could feel my face turning red as I walked across the stage. I smiled and waved, but I could feel my hands shaking.
I reached the center of the stage and turned to face the judges. They were all looking at me expectantly. I took a deep breath and began my speech.
I talked about my passion for education and my dream of becoming a doctor. I talked about the importance of giving back to my community and the power of positive thinking.
As I spoke, I could feel myself relax. I started to believe in myself and in my message.
When I finished my speech, the audience erupted in applause. I smiled and took a bow. I had done it. I had conquered my fears and shared my story with the world.
