Consumer Judging 2015

On Monday, our county participated in Consumer Judging. We didn't do to bad. Our Senior team got 2nd place and are headed to state. Our Junior team got first place, but Juniors don't go to state. It was a lot more fun this year because our cousins from Irwin all went. I tried to really step up my cotton commercial game because I keep on getting 3rd place on it. They announced that there were ten winners for cotton boll speech. As wrong and arrogant as this may seem,  I thought that I was one of the ten. I told myself that my only hope was with my cotton boll speech because I thought I had flunked everything else. After the tenth person was announced, I was about to leave because I was about to cry. I had worked to hard. What more could I do? All of a sudden, they announced "High individual goes to.....Caroline Lord." I was in shock. I walked up there, got my picture made, and sat with Ben. I didn't think that they had called out the right name. Sara, my cousin, only needed a half of a point more to tie with me in first place. Ugh... I wish that we could have tied.
