Do Beauty pageants serve the beneficial purpose?

Thesis Statement

Pageants are the “queen for day”, extra-curricular activity. It is something my mother and I have done together on weekends; it is the way for us to have mother-daughter bonding time. They have taught me how to carry myself with grace and poise. They have helped me with my public speaking skills and eye contact. Through these pageants I have received thousands of dollars in cash, scholarships, and savings bonds. And while this is all very good and beneficial toward my future, it is only the one-day activity.

After you are crowned you are not obligated to do anything to represent your title. How is doing the pageant on the Sunday any different from attending the soccer game?

One of most important steps to ensuring that you have great self-confidence is to smile. Smiling is key ingredient to letting judges as well as audience know that you are in your element. Looking at judges directly while smiling will exude an air of self-confidence and poise. Never forget to smile when you are competing. (Burgess 39)
