What Does Your Family Think?

I get asked how my family feels about me doing pageants all the time. So I thought I'd let each person in my family get the chance to write how they feel about their Maggie competing for Miss South Dakota.

In front of my Butterhead with my amazing family.

Mom:
It has been a very exciting time! I have learned that there is so much more involved in the organization than I ever thought.  I am so proud of Maggie and her determination and dedication to this program!!  It's been a fun ride and I can't wait to see how it all turns out!!!!

Dad:
It has made me very proud to see Maggie become the incredible woman she is. I love to see her at her appearances interacting with everyone.

Katie:
I am very proud to be Maggie's older sister.  The appearances she has done show just what an amazing person she is.  Though I know it has been a long and hard journey for her, she has worked incredibly hard to get where she is and I know she will shine in the Miss South Dakota pageant.  I love her and hope the best for her.

Laura:
It makes me very proud to call Maggie my older sister, she is an amazing girl and a hard worker.  Having Maggie be crowned Miss Brookings really opened my eyes to the Miss America Organization and all the hard work they do. Seeing Maggie do appearances all across Brookings just shows what a hard worker and amazing lady she is. I am so glad I get to be on this journey with her.

I am so lucky to have such as amazing family and support system behind me! I know that no matter how it turns out, they will still be cheering like the crazy fans they are and I love.
