Lauren Eschbach - Top Ten Finalist - On-Line Voting Winner

People's Choice Award

1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
My favorite word is “TRY”. No matter what one tries to accomplish or how hard the task, you can always be happy with your efforts as long as you know in your heart you tried. Try is the lucrative opposite to “I can’t”!!

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
I think self –confidence is beautiful, and it always shows both, inside and out. Just be happy with yourself and the gifts God gave you, throw in a healthy diet &fitness program then top it off with a kind and contagious smile and you have my recipe for being beautiful!!

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
I heard once that people will forget what you say, forget how you look, but they will never forget how you make them feel. I made that my motto. I take pride in my old fashioned manners, and leaving friends and strangers alike feeling positive and hopefully warm and happy!

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
Sunday is Funday in our house. My parents always believed families that play together stay together, so Sunday is our bonding day! Church, boating, cookouts or driving to the country in search of a road we’ve never traveled or a festival is awesome in my book!!

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
My grandmother’s names were Cobbe, and O'Donohue. They always told me “if I was lucky enough to be Irish, then I’m lucky enough!!” (But I still carry a four leaf clover and wouldn’t entirely dismiss the existence of leprechauns and fairies for a little extra luck!!!)
