Anita Brown: Thank you, pastor for your prayer, and words of encouragement, and thank you sister Thelma for that song. I haven’t heard that one in years…. God bless you….. Now, to this year’s candidates, we will have their escorts to introduce them, first escort please! Candidates please stand when you see your escort. Stand at the podium.
Sarah (daughter): There were twenty five of us, fourteen girls and eleven boys, the little girls escorted the boys and the little boys escorted the girls. The little boys were all dressed in tuxedos and bowties, all the little girls were dressed in pretty white dresses trimmed in gold lace and a gold crown on each girls head. The ages of the escorts were between five and seven years old. Their parents had trained them on how to introduce they escorted. Their voices addressed the community was a joy to all of us. Some of them stumbled over the presentation, but we understood them. Most of them were well prepared, especially the one that introduced Joshua!…show more content… Joshua is twelve years old, his mother is Patricia Westbrook, his father is Brandon Richardson, Joshua is an graduate of Eastside Junior High, with a 3.5 grade point average, his favorite pass time is playing basketball in the park with his friends and playing chess.
