Q: queen Kim...over and out

AlphabetChallenge

It was a dream of mine to be a princess....and since I know Disney princesses were all already taken and the royal family was a bit far.....I knew a pageant princess and queen would suit me just perfectly.
May 2011 marked the beginning of the journey, and as such, May 2012 means it's been a year since I was crowned Miss Jamaica Global International 2011..and it is time to pass on the crown.

The journey has been a unique one...at least it was unique to me because I had various expectations, and of course because the journey could only have been as good as I made it. Obviously there were ups-and-downs as I worked to finish my degree and balance the meetings and preparations I had for internationals.

Following that there was the amazing week I had entertaining beautiful ladies from around the world here in my island home. We've been sure to keep up with each other regardless of the differences in time, and I honestly do hope that in time I'll be able to travel to them to enjoy even just a week in each country.

Also in the mix of it all, I worked alongside my adopted charity - Danny Williams Primary School for the Deaf and I enjoyed every minute of it. This actually was what I spent most of my reign doing, and I enjoyed it so much that I continue to work with them and have a number of projects lined up all with the goal of helping the school overcome some of their challenges.

I've had the opportunity to meet persons who otherwise I would not, and gone to places and events that without my title I may have never even considered. I enjoyed it.....all the frantic worries, the confusions and the smiles.

I guess I can honestly say that although a part of me is excited to pass on the crown on May 5th....another part of me wouldn't mind keeping it all for myself! But I have my title, photos, sashes, dresses and the many one in a million memories to hold dear....and for that reason...I'm happy.

I thank each and every person who has supported me on this journey, and for those who have asked....this may or may not be my last competition...who knows what the future holds.... =]
