I was thinking the odds were against me considering Open Class C are some of the average height women, and women who have several competitions already under their belt. This is my first one.
I thought to myself, "Just have fun with it, Jam". Little did I know I would be nervous as I stepped center stage with these bright lights on you and 6 or 7 serious-faced judges staring at you. I almost toppled over at one point so I rushed through a pose, practically skipping it althogether. My smiles were shakey because I was that nervous. Also, when I made first call outs, I didn't know until the lady on stage working the show had to tell me to step on the line. When I was told to move so that judges can do their comparisons, I again didn't move until I was told by the lady. Thank goodness for this lady and I swear I have the brains to follow instructions.. just not while I'm in a daze and the mic is slightly muffled.
I've been asked, "What's next?".
Answer: To have this really awesome blessing settle in, celebrate my birthday in a few days, and prepare for the holidays and other celebrations with family and friends. I answered the one question that got me started with this competition: "Can I do it?". I sure did. God is so good.

A motivational message from me:
Don't Quit. Keep driving towards you goals - family, career, education, fitness, etc. Whatever if is, don't stop, take it (literally) one day/challenge at a time, be grateful, and keep doing non-average things. Someone said happiness doesn't come in the things you acquire, but in the physical/mental challenges you face, accept, and conquer. All things are possible through Him. Learn from the struggle and know it's worth it. Keep a razor sharp focus in the present because you know greater things will come. They always do.
