I
would make a great Miss Shamrock because of my "Irish
Charm" and gift of gab! As an accomplished, driven
professional, I pride myself on being highly responsible, respectful
and personable. I love to meet new people and have a good time
seeking out new experiences, yet I also have strong family values
and Catholic foundations. |

Being
Miss Shamrock would be an honor as I have a deep love for all things
that celebrate the Irish culture. From my grandfather who was once
suspended from De La Salle high school for dying his hair green on St.
Patrick’s Day, to my parents who would enthusiastically drink green
beer any day of the week if we would let them, I was born to celebrate
this holiday. I was raised by two Irish temperaments which resulted in
me being headstrong, slightly stubborn, and as much as I hate to admit
it, loud. I am also outgoing and never hesitate to strike up a
conversation with anyone. I love having fun and lending a hand to anyone
in need and being active is the only way I know to be. Being Miss
Shamrock would allow me to expand my public outreach even more and
representing the St. Patrick's Association and our great capitol would
be a dream come true.

I
think I would make a GREAT Miss Shamrock for many reasons. St Patrick's
Day is my favorite holiday (partly because it is my birthday at
midnight!) I always dress up at work. Last year it was this hideous
green dress, before that it was a handmade shirt with some inappropriate
sayings on it (silly corporate atmosphere; they made me wear my fleece
over it all day!) I've also made a tradition of bringing green jello
shots into work, although the first time I brought them people were
worried that I had ignored the strict no alcohol policy! It is really
fun watching the older guys try to get all the jello out :) I'm just
saying! Other than my obvious passion for St Patties Day, I have to say
that Shamrocks is my favorite bar. I go there after kickball regularly,
I even forced my coworkers to make the hike from Chanhassen to come
there and have some drinks with me. Oh, and of course I'm very fun and
outgoing!!

I believe I would make a great Miss Shamrock because I am very proud to be a strong woman of Irish heritage. My mother’s family is the very proud Irish Finn’s and I grew up surrounded by her large & loud bunch of brothers and sisters. They helped instill in me the love of the Irish culture and my heritage.
I may be a bit stubborn but when I encounter a problem, I find a solution. I have overcome many obstacles and challenges to become the dependable, industrious, and creative young women I am today. These traits, coupled with my adventurous nature, will help me reach out to the community and be a strong representative of the St. Patrick’s Association & Irish community as the 2012 Miss Shamrock. I’m excited and looking forward to the adventure and fun experiences I’m going to have while running for Miss Shamrock.

I
love St. Paul and my Irish heritage. I've lived here for over 10 years and love
it. I know quite a few people and businesses, since I've worked in various
restaurants in the area for the last 10 years. I'm outgoing and friendly and
love meeting people.

Since
I was in elementary school, I have been celebrating St. Patrick's Day
with my family. We would get out of school, go march in the parade
with St. Joe's Hospital (mom works there), and then go to the VFW,
where my Uncle Tim was cooking corned-beef and cabbage. My cousin,
Brad, and I would have Happy Meals. As I got older, the tradition
continued. Now, we have cousins, 2nd cousins, Aunts and Uncles all
getting together. We watch the parade, get some food afterwards, and
then a group of us will celebrate the rest of the day in St. Paul. I
dress in green from head-to-toe, including a green wig! St. Patrick's
Day is my favorite holiday of the year! (Seriously. I like it better
than Christmas.)

I
think that I would make a great Miss Shamrock because I am so passionate about
my Irish heritage. I really enjoy being a part of and celebrating the Irish
culture. I also love to volunteer at the Irish Fair, which I have been doing
for the past four summers. Being the enthusiastic person that I am, I am great
at spreading Irish cheer! I love to meet new people and bring people together
to support great causes. Representing the St. Patrick's Association as Miss
Shamrock would be the ultimate opportunity to encourage more people to get
involved in supporting the Irish culture.

I
would make a great Miss Shamrock because I absolutely love St.
Patrick’s Day and celebrating my Irish heritage. I love meeting new
people and am always willing to strike up a conversation with a
stranger. As Miss Shamrock I would bring Irish cheer to all I meet and
represent the Association and all its members everywhere I go. Being
Irish has given me a strong sense of who I am and where I come from, and
that is something I’d like to share with others. Miss Shamrock should
be someone who will promote our Irish heritage, St. Paul, and the
Association, and I believe I’m just the girl to do it!

When
I was 14, I was doing a benefit at a local pub for the firefighters
involved with 9/11. While I was there dancing, my grandma and I saw a
flyer to become the next Miss Shamrock. I promised her that I would
enter as soon as I was able to give this organization the attention it
deserves. I am finally in that place and I am not only ready to show off
my Irish heritage but I also cannot wait to make my family proud!

I
would love to have the opportunity to represent an association that not
only cares about heritage, and how it helps define who we are, but to be
able to help with all of the charitable things that they do. I believe
that I would make a great Miss Shamrock because I believe that life is
what you make of it, and that happiness, and a smile can go a long way.
I live by these two principles, hoping that my influences and
accomplishments make other people’s days a little brighter.

Life
is too short not to be Irish! I'm an outgoing people person who is proud
of her Irish heritage and would be honored to spred Irish merriment to
the St Paul community! The St. Patricks Day parade has been a family
tradition all my life and I would love to be part of the parade as a
Miss Shamrock Princess!

My
family is very proud of our Irish heritage. I do not think we have ever
missed a parade, my dad would pull us out of school to see it. My
grandma has passed away and she was always quoting Irish sayings, her
whole house decorated with shamrocks and Irish angels, she was a big
reason of why the family always through a party on St. Patrick's day. My
aunt was Miss Shamrock a few years ago and ever since then It has been
something I'd like to do. I think I would be great at it because it is
something I am truly proud of. I am a kind, caring and dependable
person. I am well organized but I still know how to have fun.

I
love to spread the Irish spirit & cheer, wherever I go throughout
the year! My favorite color is green, Guinness is my beer; I love being

I
have been told that wherever I go, people seem to have fun around me.
Because of this, my friends and family joke that I am an
"Atmosphere Coordinator." I am very proud of my Irish
heritage, and enjoy making people smile, and enjoy whatever it is that
we are doing. I believe that my outgoing personality would be a great
contribution to the St. Pat's Association, and St. Patrick's Day has
been my favorite holiday as long as I can remember!

I
am extremely proud of my Irish heritage. I define myself with the
characteristics of the Irish: loud, outgoing, confident, competitive,
and definitely good company. I also look great in green and know lots of
people that need St. Patrick's Day buttons;)

I would make a good Miss Shamrock because I
spread Irish cheer everyday of the year! I am a fun, caring, outgoing
and adventurous person! I like to spread my Irish energy and positive
attitude to those around me. I am quick on my feet and can react to
almost any situation in a positive way while having fun doing it. I
enjoy socializing with new people and making new friends everywhere I
go. My friends would describe my personality as "magnetic"
because I get along with everyone and I like to have fun with everything
I do. I enjoy volunteering my free time to fundraising and chairty
events because I feel that my community has done much for me and it
makes me feel good to be able to give back in any way that I can. I
stand up for the things I believe in and am passionate about my Irish
heritage. Now that I am old enough, I can stop looking up to Miss
Shamrock and BE Miss Shamrock!! When it comes to being Irish, I go over
the top!!!

I would make a great Miss Shamrock because I love the Irish heritage and LOVE St. Patrick’s day. I enjoy meeting people and making new friendships along the way. I am very motivated, stubborn, and dedicated. I would be honored to be Miss Shamrock and spread Irish cheer throughout! This has always been something I have wanted to do, so I thought it was time to get it off of the “bucket list” and be Miss Shamrock!!
