It was exactly one month ago where I was crowned Miss Teen Oregon Int'l 2009. Being awarded this title once again reminded me that dreams can come true although it is your responsibility to pursue them. Entering this pageant was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. One thing I really want all woman to know is that you may not win the very first time, or maybe even the second but do not give up trying! I almost see it as applying for a job position. When you apply for jobs you are well aware that there are other applicants applying for the same position who are just as highly qualified as you and that you may not get the position, but does that mean you stop trying too? Being in this pageant gave me the opportunity to meet an amazing group of woman all over Oregon. I am so exited and more then prepared to pursue my duties as Miss Teen Oregon Int'l 2009!
