Courtney Critz - 1st Runner-Up

1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
1. Volunteering is a passion for me. I especially enjoy volunteering for the benefit of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I am honored to say that I’ve even visited St. Jude Children's Hospital in person. What an amazing experience that was.

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
2. I also get so much enjoyment from some silly little things in life, like finding license plate frames from different states. New York has to be the hardest one to find out on the West Coast, I've only seen it once.

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
3. I’m an avid giraffe lover. I enjoy how different they are.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
4. I am a big movie buff. I especially love the old ones, Judy Garland in "Meet me in St. Louis" is hands down one of my favorites.

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
5. And lastly, my heart rules who I am. I just can’t help it, but it is what makes me Courtney Critz, Miss Teen California International 2014
