something I learned a long time ago.
Something so simple can open up so many opportunities.
I keep getting asked how I got my evening gown dress sponsored for the Miss Lawrence Tech pageant this Saturday (Feb 7th); and the answer is simple- I went to different stores and asked if they would be willing to sponsor me a dress.
Now, I was lucky because the first store I went to said yes (Group USA in Great Lakes Crossing); but I needed another dress for my talent and I asked about five different stores that gave me a "no"- but did I lose anything? nope!
Finally, I found a store (Guys N' Gals) to sponsor me a dress for my talent.
So, while other girls are buying a dress or looking for someone to lend them one, I got a brand-new dress to wear for the pageant. And why? because I asked.
Asking someone for help is probably the smartest thing I have done- rather than have the "I can do it myself" attitude. Sometimes, you need to ask.
How have I gotten my tuition waved twice? Gotten cafe cash so I don't starve throughout the year? Gotten numerous scholarships? I asked someone for help.
you got your tuition waived? as in, they said you just didn't have to pay for school? how did that happen lol
ReplyDeleteYup!- I asked for help :) lol
ReplyDeleteThe amount was never over $600- but hey! It's a lot to me!
I had no idea you got your gowns donated. That's awesome.
ReplyDeleteTell us more about getting tuition waived. I'm curious about that one for sure!!
