In high school, I wanted to participate in a Jr. Miss Pageant but never had a talent that you share. I don't have an amazing voice (lullabies for my children are the extent of my vocal abilities). I play the piano, but nothing even close to Beethoven. I don't dance and so on and so forth. As a teenager, I was devastated at the fact that I had "no" talent. As I've gone through life, been married, graduated college and started to raise children of my own I have come to terms that I have talents, just not one's you show off on stage.
In February of 2008 I was made aware of a Mrs. Utah United States Pageant. It didn't require a talent and was made specifically for married women and mothers. I decided to take a chance I try something completely out of my comfort zone. My husband thought I was crazy. I babysit and do preschool four days a week, I serve as young women's secretary in my ward, I do accounting work for an Internet business from home and so on and so on. But I felt driven to participate in Mrs. Utah. Through much prayer, I decided I would become in a contestant in this years Mrs. Utah United States Pageant.
