Wow… great to see the write up of each of the finalist. I have been to 4 WCPS but never really got to know the background more about each contestant except during the interview. Then one can forget. Here you have written down for all to see and admire and be inspired. Thanks.

Shannon:
I, too, have been disappointed by the slow response time of news being posted on the TI site. That’s one of the reasons I decided to post information on the finalists and winners on my site.

I checked the TI site to see who’d won and could find nothing. I Googled and found an article in Dallas about the winner (LaShunda) and your site. Thanks for the info. I particularly like your links to Youtube speeches.

Congrats to ALL the contestants – It takes a thick skin to get up there and give it all you got – YOU ALL did that!

Great to see BOTH LaShunda and Kathy ROCK the stage!!
