Sophia Medairy - 1st Runner-Up - Preliminary Evening Gown Winner

People's Choice Award

1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
Lead – it is an action word with many meanings and interpretations. For me it is about having a purpose and convictions, it is setting goals to be achieved and the determination to accomplish what you put your mind to do. Most people recognize it and aspire to become it.

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
Sleep – I can never get enough! A beautiful exterior starts with a calm and rested inner me. Cat naps can do wonders for any girl’s energy level!

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
I am one of the youngest certified facilitator’s for the program “7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens” based on the book and teachings of Dr. Stephen Covey. Facilitating a class of 9th graders was an amazing experience and has since allowed me to share powerful life lessons.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
On Tuesdays I serve as a teacher’s assistant at my Dance Academy. I always look forward to working with the 4-year olds in my class because they have so much enthusiasm that I can’t help but to have a great day. I always have a smile on Tuesdays!

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
Good luck is needed when you attempt to leave your comfort zone. Therefore, my lucky charm is more of a ‘comfort charm’, I call “blanky”. When I was born, my mom knit a blanket for me, which goes everywhere I go – even to this day!
