Forever Confident by Chloe Schrader

I believe that confidence is the key to success.

Many people think that in order to win or be the best at something you have to have some special talent, but not necessarily. I never thought in a million years that I would receive the opportunity of a lifetime.

It was just an ordinary day until something unusual ended up on my doorstep, curiosity ran through my head. The unexpected was sitting at my doorstep giving me tension I have never felt before. Staring up at me, as I’m staring down at it.

The day after I could not believe this miracle that was brought upon me. Now it was time for me to take action. Practice, practice, practice for the big day coming for me.

July 6, 2012 the big day came, it came. I was more nervous than ever but I knew that confidence was all that l I needed in this journey. And the winner is...Chloe Schrader. I can’t stay still, this all doesn’t seem real to me. Am I dreaming?

I’m holding the glorious trophy in my hands and tears are streaming from my eyes. I did it, I did it and confidence was behind it all.

The letter that ended up on my doorstep that day told me that I could enter a pageant was shocking for me.

But it showed me who I was and what I was capable of.

It showed me that confidence is the key to success.
