Why were you interested in entering Miss New York Teen USA?
I was always fascinated with pageants since I was a little girl, but I never got
the chance to participate in one until now. Also, I knew this would be a great
chance for me to build my confidence and be comfortable with public speaking. My
future plan is to be a TV anchor and public speaking is one of the biggest
components of this career.
Were you nervous during the pageant?
I was not nervous during the swimsuit and evening gown competition, but I was a
little
apprehensive before my interview. At the end I realized that the interview was
actually the easiest part because you get to show the judges your true
personality.
What are some facts about the pageant that you'd want other girls to know?
I would want other girls to know that this is an incredible experience where
dreams come true. Also, it is very important to be comfortable in your own skin.
If you believe in yourself and are determined than you will succeed.
What is your favorite memory from the Miss New York Teen USA pageant?
My favorite memory was when I got into the Top 5.They called 4 girls and my name
was still not
called, so when they announced that I was the last girl in the top five I wanted
to jump with joy.
In one word how would you describe yourself? Positive
What are your favorite social activities on the weekend?
On the weekend I love to spend time with my friends and family.
How were you able to balance school responsibilities while preparing
for the pageant?
This was a difficult task because I was doing college applications and
preparing for the SAT's . I still made sure I left time to prepare for the
pageant. I had no time for social activities but it was worth it!
How do you believe the pageant will help you in the future?
This pageant will help me gain more confidence and be more comfortable in
front of people. As I mentioned before, I would love to be a TV anchor and the
pageant is a great opportunity that will
help me grow. |
What are some of your hobbies/interests?
I love to go to the gym because it relaxes me. I also do fashion shows, visit
the animal shelter (wishing I could take all of them home), and traveling to
different places around the world.
