Miss
Teen Colleyville 2001, Erin Bredon, is not what one might consider the
usual pageant queen.
She is a determined but humble young woman who has a goal in mind
and is pursuing some very industrious ways toward accomplishing her
dream.

While
striding in late one day to her choir class at Grapevine High, Erin
caught the end of an announcement about a scholarship opportunity.
Upon further inquiry, she discovered that the scholarship was
actually the Miss Teen Colleyville pageant.
With her fears of swimsuit competitions calmed, she decided that
she would give it a shot.
After being nominated by choir instructor Freda Middleton, Erin
went on to win the title.
She is now preparing for the next level of competition, the 12th
annual Miss Teenage Texas Scholarship Pageant in Houston, TX (July 13th-15th).

| Most
girls dream of being beauty queens, but Erin says that, “the goal
isn’t to walk around and be pretty. “
Miss Bredon’s number one motive for entering the pageant is to
raise money for college.
Erin’s dream is to earn a Pre-Med degree from Hardin Simmons
University and to eventually become a pediatrician.
This goal is one that she is actively pursuing in her free time.
Erin currently works with children in the daycare center at
Abundant Life Assembly of God Church in Grapevine, and has also
participated in a student intern program in the Pediatrics and Labor and
Delivery wards of Harris Methodist Hospital. Aside from caring for
children, she enjoys singing in the A Cappella choir and participating
in the National Honor Society at Grapevine High School.
Erin has also worked with the Colleyville Chamber of Commerce as
a volunteer for the City Slicker Auction and Expo of Excellence, and
also participated in
the construction of the Kidsville playground at City Park in
Colleyville.

Getting
to the Miss Teenage Texas pageant has proven to be a challenge in itself
for Miss Bredon.
Erin has been working hard to raise the money needed for all the
costs that go along with entering the state pageant.
This past weekend she hosted a Premier
Jewelry party to earn the free jewelry that she will be wearing in
the pageant.
With the support of the Grapevine-Colleyville community, Erin has
raised over $800 in donations.
Miss
Teen Colleyville admits that she is a quiet person who really enjoys
listening and meeting new people.
Erin doesn’t want to get her hopes up for winning the upcoming
pageant.
She would be thrilled to get into the top 5, but most looks
forward to getting to know the other contestants from around the state.
Erin’s proud parents, Linda and Alan Bredon, and sister Kelly will all
be there to cheer her on as she represents the City of Colleyville and
competes for the title of Miss Teenage Texas 2001.
