Miss Teen Southern States International®

1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
I would require everyone to move their bodies for 30 minutes a day minimally. It is proven by experts that 30 minutes a day of any form of exercise boosts a person’s serotonin, hence making them more energetic while providing multiple health benefits. Overall, people may not be the most optimistic about this rule at first. However, as they keep up with exercise, they may find a healthy hobby that they enjoy like I did!

2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I love education and the constant pursuit of learning. Therefore, I would love to obtain the superpower of retaining everything that I read, observe or hear. I believe this would allow me to excel in the areas that I am currently studying while enabling me more time to study for shorter periods of time. Additionally, this would give me more time throughout each day to pursue the other hobbies that I enjoy.

3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
I don’t believe there is a specific, identifiable moment when a child or teen becomes an adult. I believe that the physical aspect of an individual becoming an adult occurs when they are truly able to provide for themselves and function independently from their parents. I believe that psychological independence is necessary as well. A child or teen becomes an adult when they are cognitively mature enough to make decisions autonomously with a responsible mindset.

4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
Perspective in life is critical, because it dictates outcomes. Experiencing failure and seeing my failure as a positive has allowed me to channel failure into motivation, which ultimately has led me to greater success. I also believe that a shut door is divinely led to point you toward the right, open door to achieve your true purpose. Therefore, failures that “level us up”, turn failure inside out and bring about true success!

5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
Serving as President of the United States appears extremely difficult to me. The stress level of being POTUS seems overwhelming. The President makes decisions daily that impact them personally as well as the country and other nations. You never simply clock in and out of the job. You are constantly preparing for another election, decision or event. If I were to become POTUS, the totality of the job would require intense preparation and focus.
