In honor of the @missiowapageant quickly approaching, here is my NAM Story!!! In 2018, shy little 10 year-old Vanessa walked into her NAM Open Call unsure of what it was all about. Little did she know she’d meet/be interviewed by (soon to be) Miss USA Sarah Rose Summers and walk out of that Open Call feeling so much more confident in her skin. It’s now been 6 years since that moment and I can truly say pageants have changed me for the better. The girl who once was insecure of her speech impediment is now a National Award-Winning Speaker. The girl who has hearing loss is now the girl who pursues music despite that. The girl who once struggled with walking is now the girl who can confidently strut the runway. The girl who was once in the lowest reading group at school is now the girl who’s an Amazon Best-Selling Author. Pageants have taught me to not let my obstacles determine who I am, but instead let them give me opportunities and purpose. Pageantry has let me embrace who I truly am with no judgment and helped me persevere over life’s biggest challenges. Thank you @nationalamericanmiss for shaping me into the person I am today and letting me embrace my unique self! @missiowapageant here I come!

WOW… I expected coming to Christian Miss Nationals to crown my successor, (which I did), but I would’ve never thought I would leave as the FIRST NATIONAL CHRISTIAN MISS LEGACY QUEEN!!! Honored is an understatement and the tears couldn’t stop coming. Christian Miss has such a special place in my heart. When I was the National Christian Miss Preteen, I was diagnosed with CRPS and Autonomic Dysfunction. My life soon revolved around hospitalizations and doctor’s appointments. Christian Miss stood right by my side and without Miss Yvette and all of the Christian Miss staff, I don’t know how I would’ve made it through the worst days. When I was crowned the National Christian Miss Jr. Teen, I decided that I wanted to turn my obstacles into opportunities. I did this by giving back to some of the phenomenal nurses I’ve had, donating games for kids to play while staying in the Ronald McDonald House, and spreading my platform, Crescendo Into Music, even further. My primary goal was to give back to those who have given so much to me! Thank you to everyone who helped put the scholarship for me together! It is endlessly appreciated! I want to thank @officialmaddierey ! You have easily become one of my biggest role models! I appreciate all of the advice and knowledge you have shared with me! I am so very grateful for this opportunity. Christian Miss, thank you for believing in me and helping me find my purpose! These past four years have been life-changing and have truly shaped me into the person I am today. God is continuing to work miracles every single day in my life. Yes, I still struggle but His plan and purpose for my life is perfect! Without my struggles, I would not be who I am today. I cannot wait to see where he takes me as a National Christian Miss Legacy Queen! @christianmisspageants #vanessakoelling
