How to Win High School America with Emily Bray

•
Emily Bray is responsible for winning one of the biggest pageants in the United States. As a senior in high school she competed in the Miss division with a Teen twist. Her straight forward, confident answers will cause you to rethink you pageant training. Here are the questions that we asked her: What do you feel set you apart from the rest of the contestants and helped you win the Miss High School America crown? How did you mentally prepare to compete on the national stage? Are you one that generally gets nervous? What tips do you have for girls to help calm their nerves? How did you prepare for your panel style interview?  How did you connect with the judges?  You were mainly asked about BRAVE, your system’s national anti-bullying campaign.  How did you align yourself with BRAVE prior to the national competition? How did you choose your fun fashion outfit? What are the judges looking for in this area of competition? How did you stand out among all of the contestants? How did you choose your evening gown? Is there a certain type of look that tends to do well in your system? What item (or, items) under $20 do you feel is a must have while competing? Your system not only has the Miss High School America title, but also Miss Collegiate America and Miss Junior High School America titles.  What ages of girls are eligible to compete?  What is your best piece of advice to all of the girls out there hoping to one day wear the High School, Jr. High School or Collegiate America crown?
