Alexa Jordan Stachowiak, 9, of Frankfort, decided she wanted to enter the Nationals’ 2008 Miss Jr. Pre-Teen Syracuse pageant.
Being a “self-motivated” pre-teen the pageant is looking for, she “did it on her own” by submitting an application that earned her a short interview resulting in her being accepted into the competition, according to her grandfather Robert Stachowiak.
Since this is her first pageant, Alexa has been preparing by going over the possible questions the judging panel is likely to ask.
Personality is the number one aspect each contestant is judged on during all phases of the pageant, according to a release.
But it doesn’t seem Alexa will have any trouble showing her independent character. She has already shown initiative in more ways than just sending out an application.
On top of the costs of clothes, there is necessary training, rehearsals, and all around financial support each contestant needs in order to participate.
Community businesses, organizations, and private individuals will assist in providing the necessities through sponsorship, according to the release.
The reality is that Alexa is approaching this task with the do-it-yourself enthusiasm Robert described.
“I’m supposed to be going for an interview with a sponsor on Monday,” said Alexa.
“We’re very proud of her,” said Robert.
The winner of the title of Miss Jr. Pre-Teen Syracuse, which has four divisions of young ladies ages 7 to 19 competing in modeling routines of casual and formal wear, goes on to represent Syracuse and the surrounding communities at the Cities of America National competition taking place in Orlando Florida.
Over $60,000 in prizes and awards will be presented at the national competition, with each winner receiving the expenses-paid trip of five nights and six days in Orlando, according to the release.
Alexa with her matter-of-fact approach to the process mentioned the trip as a possibility and added, “I’ve never been to Florida.”
Anyone interested in becoming a sponsor can call Patty Neidert, pageant coordinator at 1-800-569-2487.
