It was nice getting to meet some of the other states!
We did the cycling class and I was huffing and puffing! It was very challenging but I was happy to help the great cause and to have the intense workout before competing for Miss USA!
Later Dennise and I went out to eat with her sister Casta and her husband David which was really nice! The next morning I woke up and saw an article posted online about the pageant.
Then I got ready and went to meet up with Nathan Helsel who is a stylist that Nana Meriwether connected me with.
Him and a group of friends were out to brunch and they were really nice! After we finished I told him that I was going to go shopping for a dress for my Miss USA Road to the Crown interview at the Miss Universe Organization. He came with me to Intermix and helped me pick out a nice yellow dress which is my favorite color. Then I did some shopping on my own and later Dennise came with me for Miss USA interview training with Don Baker.
This session was part of my prize package and I got a good amount of information out of it. One thing that was very useful was a technique on how to start an answer to a question to make your answer sound decisive and confident. During the session he had me stand up and he asked me some questions to practice the technique. It went well and at the end I purchased his book from him. The next morning I took a very early bus ride from Manhattan back to Rochester, New York.
The reason why I left so early was so that I could help my Mom and other instructors teach the Fairport Karate Academy after school class at Brooks Hill Elementary. It was St. Patrick's Day so a lot of the kids wore green which was cute.
After class I went with Mike's family and family friend Jorge to Carrabba's Italian Grill and we had a great time! The next day I had fun going to the archery range and working at Scott Miller. At night Mike and I hung out in his studio while he worked on music!
