THOUGHTS FROM MISS BAVARIAN SPORTS CLUB 2014
Mirror, Mirror
kids were learning to read and
multiply, I was learning to check
my blood glucose level and give
myself a shot and what foods contained wheat. If that doesn’t send
a child in to a pit of separateness
then not much else could. For
years I felt not entirely part of
anything.
Nearly every little girl
dreams of being some sort of princess or queen, of wearing fancy
dresses and sparkly crowns. As a
matter of fact, my parents had a box
of pretty costumes and plastic
rhinestone crowns for me when I
was little and I believed I actually
was a princess until first grade. We
all should feel special like that. It’s
not like we don’t start out that way,
but as we grow up, we enter in to
the world,
a selfish, ignorant
place. Like most children, especially those who are the youngest,
my parents and older brothers made
every effort to make me believe I
was special. Smart, pretty, talented,
you name it. Then, such is the nature of life, I was exposed to criticism. Not the kind that makes you
a better person, but the kind that
laughs at a gap in your teeth or too
many freckles on your nose or any
other “flaw” that is in reality, only
uniqueness. Then, while the other
September, 2010 my parents joined the Bavarian Sports
Club and I became a member of
the Schuhplattler Gruppe. I didn’t know then, but this would
prove to be a life changing
choice. I felt part of something.
Something different and desirably
separate from the ordinary routine
was now a part of my life. It didn’t matter if the kids at school
thought I was stupid or acted like
I had the plague when I had to
check my blood glucose. There
was a place for me to go where no
one cared that I struggled with
math or that I had to poke myself
before I danced. I also got to put
on pretty dresses that fanned out
when I twirled and once again, I
felt like a princess.
As time went on, I eventually overcame my darkness and
realized that I could use my experience to help other people,
whether they were diabetic, struggled with math or were just plain
feeling down. I learned that I had
influence. We all have influence.
We should all make a conscious
effort to use that influence to
build each other up and look for
opportunities to do it. A kind
word of encouragement, maybe
even just a smile can lift or carry
someone just enough to get them
to the next day and sometimes
that’s all they need. Tomorrows
are full of promises that can be
fulfilled.
When I put on this sash
and tiara, I’m not just a festival
queen or mascot; I am a person of
influence. Other than the people
who are curious about whom I
represent, or the people who want
to take my picture, there are the
little ones. They are precious little
people with innocent hearts who
still believe in their own awesomeness. They haven’t yet been
torn down by the negativity in the
world. It is not only my duty, but
the duty of every person to build
those little ones. We need to build
their confidence and self esteem
so high and rock solid that when
the world starts chipping away at
them, it won’t be possible to tear
away enough to knock them
down. Don’t under estimate the
power of a “high five” or “atta
boy” and take a moment to secure
a building stone underneath the

a building stone underneath the
heart of a child.
I have a story that recently happened. It demonstrates
the power of influence. In my
house, ever since I can remember
we have a term of endearment.
My mother and brothers all used
it affectionately and believe it or
not that term is “turd.” Yes, you
read it correctly. Now, seeming
only natural to me, I had continued to use that term affectionately
with the little ones in the dance
group. Recently, I found out that
one of them picked up the use of
that word and began calling kids
at school “turd.” Oops!! See
what I mean? Influence.
I can use that same power
to help them believe in themselves. I can not only help the little ones, but any person who
needs a word of encouragement
and sometimes, just a word of
acknowledgment.
I realize I don’t need this
sash and tiara to make a difference, but wearing it has started
awareness in me. I appreciate the
older people who have through
the years, by integrity and generosity kept this club, my club going. They have been a force with
their presence and support. They
have been friendly faces in the
crowd and can always be counted
on for a smile and words of
praise. How wonderful to know
Page 6
people who have spent a lifetime
using their influence for the good.
I appreciate my teachers. I’m not
always in this proper and positive
mode and sometimes revert to
being pouty little child. It can’t
be so easy to deal with that especially when there are so many of
us. I appreciate my peers. We all
struggle with life outside our haven which is the dance group. All
our differences and uniqueness
become positive things when we
walk through that steel gray door
and we have influence, power to
help each other. Most of all, I
appreciate the little ones. Baby
toothed and jack-o-lantern smiles
greet me with hugs. They’re excited to show me something new
that they’ve gotten or tell me
about some where they are going.
These little ones are my tomorrow. I will pass on my sash and
tiara, but I will never let go of the
treasure which the adoration of
my “minions.”
To the next in line, I will
stand behind you. I will help you
in all that you do. We can continue to build each other and become an unbreakable source of
strength. I only want to forewarn
you, that these pretty adornments
marking your reign are heavier
than you can imagine.
