Prepare for the revealing questions pageant judges may ask about your life – from what “life story” your life will tell when you are an old woman, to the most difficult situations you have faced and what you learned from it, to what you most regret about your life so far. Personal questions are designed to find out what you are really about, so whether you are competing in a local pageant — or high-stakes state and national pageants — make sure you have anticipated what pageant questions you could be asked.
