Jade

Jade is a 2nd grader at Watkins Elementary School.  Friends oftentimes describe her personality as B-I-G!  From the moment she learned to talk Jade had a natural way of starting conversations with strangers whom she quickly became friends with due to her charismatic personality.  Jade enjoys cooking, dancing, skipping, painting her nails and doing all things girly.  If there is a way to add sparkle to one's life Jade delves right in whatever activity that might be.

Jade is relatively new to pageantry.  She has only competed once.  Her first and only competition was at a local SunBurst USA/International pageant for the Miss Waldorf title where she garnered 2nd runner-up.  Her placement piqued her interest in pageantry however it was around the same time that her mom decided that the family needed to focus on Vanessa entering kindergarden so pageantry was put on hold for Jade.  During that time Jade enjoyed being a "tag-along" for Vanessa's Brownie Girl Scout troop, helping to pick out books she and her peers would enjoy receiving for the Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) which her mother operated, assisting to decorate her very own room (YEAH, no more sharing with Vanessa), playing soccer, cheerleading and going door-to-door to secure petition signatures so her mother could be on the 2012 election day ballot for Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner.  Periodically, during this time Jade would ask her mom to compete in pageants which was always answered with "yes, we will soon".  Finally, the soon is now.
