From Miss Delaware 2013, Rebecca Jackson’s blog…
“Growing up, I had never dreamed of becoming Miss America. My parents discouraged me from playing with Barbie Dolls, cable television, and the Miss America pageant as a whole. I grew up seemingly not preparing for pageant life but the lure of scholarship money caught my attention and I decided to compete in locals. I competed at my first local using my Senior Prom dress as my gown! While competing, I had still never seen a Miss America Pageant – meaning I had no idea I that I was given the opportunity to change my life. It wasn’t until I was competing for Miss Delaware 2012 that I envisioned myself becoming Miss Delaware and later competing on the Miss America stage…”
Just goes to prove… Miss America contestants come from ALL walks of life! Thanks Rebecca for sharing your story 🙂
