Here are some of my various reasons: Me and my mother never really see eye to eye, and especially since I entered in the MISS ILLINOIS TEEN USA pageant. She believes that it is a scam and a waste of time and money, I'm having a very hard time earning the money for this event. But all beauty pageants require a lot of time and money. My mother also doesn't believe in me, she told me that she doesn't think I have the potential to win this competetion. I just really wish she would be more supportive of my dreams and acknowledge my potential and my family always destroy my dreams, but I don't want that anymore, I want a chance to make a dream reality. As you can see your prayers and support is very needed and will be well appreciated.
My request is that I earn all my money in time for the pageant, ($1,195 by 11/13/12) including the money I need for my wardrobe, hair, & nails. I pray that my family will be more supportive of my dreams. And my last request is that I get an excellent job that pays well for someone under the age of 17 so that I can afford a cellphone, and save up to buy a nice vehicle.
