Lauren Rellihan

People's Choice Award

1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
My favorite word is trust. With the challenges of being a teen, it is so important to trust in yourself as well as other people. I have learned that you cannot do everything by yourself. By surrounding yourself with trustworthy individuals, life will have so much to offer.

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
Be yourself no matter what! The best person you can be is yourself, so do what ever it takes to be confident. Chances are people will love you for the person that you are and the things you aspire to do.

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
My family. They are always there to back me up in any situation, no matter what. It is awesome to have a support system that is so strong and loving. I can truly say that I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for my family.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
My favorite day of the week is Friday. At end of the week you know that all of your hard work is done and well worth the time spent. Friday is a great day to start your relaxation and get ready for any goals or obstacles coming your way.

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
I believe that you can make your own luck. By preparing yourself for challenges, you have a chance for a good outcome. Also, by being the best person you can be and by living life happily, you will get the greatest rewards in return.
