A Day in the Life

Here at Pageants & Pearls, we love to showcase dynamic pageant titleholders who are out and about doing wonderful things.  To that end, we encourage you to send us your stories, photos, etc. to share with the pageant community.  We received this submission from Deshauna Barber, Miss Virginia International 2011. 

On Tuesday, October 26th,  I visited the 4-H Mentoring Center for Children in the City of Petersburg. This center provides an after school program for local children ages six to ten years old. I wanted to make the kids laugh and have a great time with them. We began the day with homework and educating games. I wanted to make the sure the children knew the importance of schoolwork. After all schoolwork was completed we played games such as Twister, Candyland and checkers. We also enjoyed a book called "My Own Song". We enjoyed the book so much that we decided to all make our own personal song!! So each kid was able to write a song and/or rap about themselves. The kids were amazing, talented and so full of joy. I look forward to visiting the center again next Monday!!

THANKS DESHAUNA, we look forward to seeing more great things from you throughout your reign!
