My mother's always told me, "where there's a will there's a way!" Now more than ever, I believe those words she spoke. I set out to achieve my goal of winning a local pageant title from the Miss America Organization, and last year my dreams came true when I was blessed to win the title of Miss Cambridge 2013!
Life has been completely different since my crowning, but for all the right reasons. I
Life has been completely different since my crowning, but for all the right reasons. I
am proud to say I juggled being a full-time college student in Upstate, NY and handled the job of being a busy titleholder in MA.
I can't believe how much I have accomplished. During my reign I made over 30 appearances in the community, promoted my platform ADOPT: Adoption Depends on Positive Thinking and even placed in the top 11 at Miss Massachusetts 2013. It's truly been a fantastic year. Words cannot sum up how grateful I am to have represented Cambridge.
I definitely would not have been as successful without help and support of my prep team. Thank you so much to the Miss Boston Board Stephanie, Dana, Christine, Andy and Rocky. A special shout out goes to my amazing business manager Dustin. You've been there for me every step of the way!
To Michelle, thanks for being a stellar dance choreographer, friend and mentor.
To my fitness family, Jeff, Jena and little foot. Thank you for your incredible strength training workouts, fitness tips and nutrition guidance. You've certainly taught me that "strong is the new sexy!"
To Miss Boston, Morgan, what a year we have had together. The journey has been so much more amazing with you by my side. You'll always be my sister queen and my "Muscle Morgan!"
Where do I begin? I can't thank you enough Don for all of your love and support. You are by far the best pageant dad in the industry. You've been my personal appearance photographer, cooked me such tasty healthy meals, given me impeccable clothing/wardrobe advice and you are the best motivator. Most of all you've stayed by my side no matter what the circumstances. I love you so much
Tom, thank you for accepting my pageant lifestyle. You have been a wonderful Mr. Cambridge. I know you will treat me like a queen, even without the crown on my head.
There are so many more people I want to thank. To anyone who's ever sent me positive vibes and energy. Please know I am thinking of you.
Lastly, as we begin pageant weekend, I want to wish all the contestants the best of luck. Competing in a pageant is not easy and I commend you. Your hard work and dedication will pay off. I promise. Enjoy every moment of this experience!
Well, I'm graduating in May and my new goal is to work in healthcare communications. I will continue to do public good and serve the people. I am going to apply everything I've learned as Miss Cambridge to aid me in the workplace.
Let's see what the future holds. I'm ready. Thank you all for the most amazing year of adventures. For the last time I am Carrie Sunde, your forever Miss Cambridge 2013!
