MISS AMERICA CLASS OF 2010
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born"
Florida, Florida, Florida...oh where to start!?!?! Let me just first start off with I'm SO PROUD OF MISS JAYCEE! Watching Jaycee compete at Miss America's Outstanding Teen Pageant made me feel just like a little momma hen. I was waving my sign and taking pictures...I was basically the President of the Jaycee Pilkington fan club.
In addition to attending the teen pageant I got to hang out/get to know/goof around with the amazing Miss America Class of 2010. Let me tell you, these ladies are fabulous! I was so honored to be surrounded with the nations most intelligent, talented and beautiful young women. It was just so crazy to look around the room of ladies and think, "One of us will be Miss America". I get goosebumps just thinking about it! Chairman of the Board, Sam Haskell, put it all into perspective when he said this year, 14 thousand young women across the country worked to get to this spot. After 5 years of working towards this job trust me, I am whole heartedly and completely grateful to be holding down the Nebraska spot!
Jokes aside, she literally lit up the stage. Overall,I was blown away, but not at all surprised, by the caliber of talent that these little ladies packed. Jaycee had so much energy and performed with grace under pressure when her on stage question was nowhere to be found in the bowl! She kept her perspective and still managed to have fun and enjoy the experience. I could not be more proud or impressed. Jaycee, YOU are a rock star!

Highlights from the trip included trips to Sea World, filming with TLC, impromptu photo shoots with Miss Washington, Jersey and Arizona, roller coasters at Universal Studios, elegant dinners with sponsors, scholarship fundraisers, shenanigans and various antics with Louisiana and of course Miss Nev. I can’t wait to reunite with them all in January!
Another highlight was getting to spend time and chat with Miss America 2009 Katie Stam. I don't care what age you are you still get that giddy, excited feeling when it comes to Miss America! Katie is so incredibly real and down to earth and I was so glad that she reiterated the mantra I had for Miss Nebraska. When it comes to Miss America preparations, just be yourself…that is enough. Prepare the very best way for YOU.Incredibly Motivated,
Brittany
