I’m usually the type of person that enjoys all things literary and linguistic,

however whenever I’m asked about my pageant experience with Miss Teen

Awareness such little words come to mind. I often feel as though I don’t have the perfect words to describe the adventure that it was. However one word that does come to mind is “journey”. I once heard the phrase “Journeys are the midwives to thoughts”, meaning that when we embark on new journeys our minds give birth to new ideas, our brain surpasses prior limitations and we look at things from a different perspective. I can honestly say that this pageant has done that for me. I learned so many techniques and life lesson that contributed to my growth. I can

never forget the laughter and sisterhood and how lovely it was to see other girls just like me collaborate to make a difference in the world.

When this is all over I hope to not only heighten my academic success but

to also grow and allow my faith in God to blossom. I believe these are essentials for me because my ultimate aspiration is to one day become an ambassador for my country not only in the arts but also on the Miss World stage. However for now, I just hope to give back as much as I can during my reign.
