"Let Your Inner Star Shine Far"


I recently attended the “Let Your Inner Star Shine Far” Career Fair. Here, I had the opportunity to speak to the elementary students of Willimantic’s Natchaug School. I explained to underprivileged children that with determination, hard work, and a lot of effort they can become whatever they want in their future. I spoke to them about my experiences and what it has taken me to become who I am today, Miss Connecticut Teen USA 2010. This led me to introduce to them to the idea of community service, which I personally believe, is the most important aspect of growing up.
I left them that day with a quote often said by Eleanor Roosevelt. “The future belongs to those, who believe in the beauty of their dreams”. With time and more education, these children will soon be doing great things with their lives in pursuing whatever their hearts desire. Hopefully the quote I shared with them will be remembered as they too begin to do their part to make this world better.
