People's Choice Award

1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
Character – Being a person of character means always doing what is right even when it is difficult or when no one else is looking. Character is the most important victory in life because win or lose, the circumstance did not change me into someone I did not want to become.

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
The beauty secret that I live by? … always wear a smile! With or without hairstyle, make-up or the latest fashions, a smile will always light up the room!

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
I’m most proud of my leadership abilities and my natural gift to connect with people. As both cheerleading and competitive dance team captain, I’ve led my squad mates to two consecutive state championships, encouraging the girls to compete hard and with integrity, while maintaining self-control, which are positive life-long lessons.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
Friday for sure!! Friday nights mean cheering at football games, school dances and fun with friends!

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
I don’t rely on a specific good luck charm, but I find success in the confidence and integrity instilled in me by my family as well as the security assured to me by my faith.
