Sydney Dillon Ohio-I loved every single moment of the past 2 NAM pageants I have done,but I have to say one of my proudest was winning Miss Spirit 1st Runner-Up because my goal going into this year's pageant was just to get some kind of thro...phy,since 2009 was my first ever pageant and I had NO idea what to do.I just went into with the mentality ''I'm gonna do it and do my best'',and I did great and was just ME,I didn't look fake,no girl did,they were just them the entire time and it was great to REAL.I did so much better and it boosted my confidence amazingly,I just love being ME,not what anyone wants me to be.And also,meeting all my AWESOME pageants friends was another amazing memory,they all rock!!:) ♥ I will NEVER forget my NAM experiences,I had THE best time the last 2 times,I love NAM!!!:)

Sydney Price Georgia- I have tons of wonderful NAM memories, but this one really comes to mind. This past year at the NAM GA Teen pageant, I was called last in the Top 20 (again!) and so I was definitely excited. As we got ready to go onstage for crowning, I was... anxious to see who I would walk out on stage with. When I got up to the steps, the last person on the other side was one of my best friends! When we got onstage we both started crying and grabbed hands and walked out together (my mom was totally crying at this point). I was so happy to be able to share that moment with one of my best friends :)
 
Caity Spinola New Jersey- meeting everyone and learning the dance number


Lydra Sahou New Jersey-My favorite memory is you just Have to be yourself. Not a barbie type girl, with makeup thick as glue. Just kidding. I also liked the escort part because my dad said he couldnt make it and he came. I was so happy.Made ...Lots Of Friends. And Most Of Them Im Still In Contact With. YAY!

Mikayla Childs South Texas- My favorite memory is All my new and old friends were with me when they called my name as Preteen Queen!! I Love National American Miss, It was my 7th year to participate and I just was so overwelmed I just cried..... tears of Joy!! It has been so much Fun making appearances and preparing for Nationals in November!! So this is from me - Never give up!! Your time will Come!! Thank you National American Miss!!

Kayla Da Cruz New Jersey- I have so many great memories, but if I had to choose one I would choose the first year I competed in National American Miss. I was 7 years old and very shy. I was so scared of being up on stage and giving my introduction, but I did it and it made me feel so proud! I made so many friends that weekend, I am still friends with them today. Most of all I remember the pride in my moms face when I was called top 15. I didn't need to win the crown for my mom to be proud of me, she was proud because I had tried new things and did it with confidence. Today thanks to NAM, I am a confident 11 year old full of hopes and dreams. Today I am the 2010 NJ Pre Teen and so proud! Nationals here I come!!Thank you National American Miss!

Cynthia Rodriguez New York- Everything but since I have to pick 1, my favorite NAM memory is the 70's party (dressing up, meeting new friends, playing & dancing). It was so much fun!

Faith Jackson New York -My favorite Nam memory would be making new friends and signing autograph books.I remember when i started three years ago i was'nt able to write well looking back at autographs i signed when i was five i have no clue what the words were but i got better over the years.Now i sign autograph books with the confidence Nam instill in me.Thanks Namiss!!!!
