Pumpkin Festival

Last saturday, the 16th, I was able to participate in the Pumpkin Festival in Forestville, CT. It was my first year going to the festival and I had a blast! I arrived with a bag full of canned goods and was able to walk in the parade! I assisted Mickey Mouse because the costume was very difficult to see out of!

The kids looked fabulous in all of their costumes for the parade! My favorite costume was the JellyFish costume, it was so creative!! I had a chance to look at all the pumpkins that were carved and I have to say I was extremely impressed. Alot of people really took their time and effort into carving pumpkins. I know I don't have the skills to carve pumpkins so I am glad I didn't have to put one in. All the pumpkins there would have put my pumpkin to shame anyways!

There was also a pet parade where people dressed their dogs in an animal costume. There was a lot of variety but only one dog stood out. It was our Little Miss Bristol's Meredith Valley's dog Coco, who won the judges over in her Dallas Cowboys cheerleading outfit. She was so excited that her puppy won!!

I also ran into a good friend of mine, Brittany Decker, Miss Connecticut 2010. She will be competing for the title of Miss America in January. The countdown begins today at 90 days until the pageant because it is the 90th Anniversary of the Miss America Scholarship Pageant. I know she will do a fabulous job!!!

Jayne Eugene Florists

Yesterday, I spent my morning and afternoon at Jayne Eugene Florists open house! Our ED, Michael Piskorski owns the store and invited us to make our very first appearance! It was wonderful, the store looked absolutely beautiful and it was a great sucess!

My teens and I, got to pass out flowers, pins, and raffle tickets to everyone that came in! I thought I had made a little girl cry when I was trying to give her a flower, but it turns out she was just afraid of the clown outside! Jenna, Tori, and I helped the clown outside trying to wave down people to come to the open house. We got alot of beeps and waves but it was absolutely hilarious to see people try and ignore us!

It was nice to spend the day with my bristol family and I look forward to all the other appearances I will have with them!!!

I am Miss Bristol 2011

On Saturday, October 2nd 2010, I was crowned Miss Bristol 2011. My initial reaction was shock! I've competed in the Miss America system for just one year and I couldn't believe that my crowning moment would have come so fast!

I am so excited to start my year as Miss Bristol, I have so many fun things planned and I can't wait to get to known the community of Bristol. I hope I can exceed their expectations as a title holder because I do not want to disappoint them!

I also cannot wait to help promote my issue of concern NCOHF: America's Toothfairy. If anyone would like more information please check out their website, www.ncohf.org. Each month I will write an article about the foundation so you can get a clearer understanding of what America's Toothfairy is.

To Jenna & Tori, I haven't told you girls enough how excited I am to have two sister queens. I can't wait to spend the entire year with you girls and make everlasting memories and friendships. Love you girls!!

To the Miss Bristol board, thank you for all for putting on a wonderful show and making myself and the rest of the contestants at ease during rehearsals. I had a blast and can not wait to see what you have in store!!!

I will keep all of my appereances posted on here for those that would like to follow my journey!

With love,
Marisa DelBuono

Leadership

So this afternoon I had recieved an email that made me thrilled!
I am the president of the dental assisting club!!
I anticipated this email for quite sometime and couldn't have been more excited!! I was jumping up and down like a 5 year old getting what she wanted under the christmas tree! I wanted this position more than anything. I can't wait to get started and see what my title entails. I know we will be doing tons of fundraising which will benefit us for graduation, it will also be a great way to collect ideas to raise money for America's Toothfairy.
This position will motivate to work harder (although I am working as hard as I possible could as a student) to get closer to my career as a certified dental assistant! I am so happy with my life's choices and grateful for where I am headed in my future!!

PS My birthday is in ONE week!!!!!

Busy Busy Busy

I am so terribly sorry for not updating my blog like I intended on doing when I started. For the past month I have been jammed pack with school work. Dental assisting consumes my entire life right now!!! I barely have enough time for myself but right now it is calming down but I know it will start back up in a blink of an eye!
I'm really enjoying the course the work is tough but the labs are so much fun! I learned how to put amalgam in a prepared tooth (fillings) and learned to take impressions (which are my favorite, most dental assistants would agree). I can't wait for the clinical portion to start up so I can actually know what it is like to work with real patients instead of using our fake teeth.


Pageant season is starting Oct. 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am stoked! I've been waiting for that date to arrive!
When the time gets closer, I will update on it!

Also my birthday is 11 days, I will be turning the big 19! haha
Well, I just wanted to update you on my life, now back to my dental homework!!!



(PS. im going to start vlogging but it is going to be strictly makeup and such! and will keep you posted on that as well)

America's Toothfairy

Pageant season is just around the corner!!! One of the many things of competiting in pageants a contestant must do is pick a platform to support. I chose to support National Children's Oral Health Foundation: America's Tooth Fairy.

As a dental assistant student and aspiring dental hygienist, what better cause to support than America's Tooth Fairy!!

America's Toothfairy is a non-profit organization who's main focus is delivering critical oral health care to underprivileged children through out the country. This organization was formed in 2006 and in the last four years they have been able to provide prevention, restoration, and educational oral health services to over one million children.

Why does this matter? It breaks my heart to know that millions of children in America are suffering pain so severe that they lose the ability to eat, sleep, and learn. With out the help of this organization they are fighting the #1 chronic childhood illness, pediatric dental disease, alone.

If you could just make one donation to his wonderful cause, it would mean the world to these children. Just click the link on the side of this blog (proud partner logo) to get more of the information I have given and please, donate.

Every child deserves a healthy smile. :)
