Now in Grade 11 AT Maani Ulujuk Ilinniarvik in Rankin, Dias said she attended a Globe Productions pageant in Toronto this past year, where she received some awesome training on how to excel at a beauty pageant.
She said she was honoured and happy to win three different titles at this yearSA国际影视传媒檚 international event.
SA国际影视传媒淚 like these pageants because I feel they give me confidence in both my body and my personality, and you learn how to just be yourself,SA国际影视传媒� said Dias. SA国际影视传媒淚 really enjoyed the training I received in Toronto this past year, and it really helped me a lot at this yearSA国际影视传媒檚 international pageant.SA国际影视传媒�
SA国际影视传媒淭hereSA国际影视传媒檚 a lot of friendship that develops among the girls at the pageant, but, when it comes time for the competition, everyone puts the friendship aside and becomes really competitive.
SA国际影视传媒淟ike, thereSA国际影视传媒檚 no hate between anyone or anything like that, but everyone really wants to win.SA国际影视传媒�
Dias said sheSA国际影视传媒檇 recommend competing in the pageant to any teenage girl who was interested.
She said sheSA国际影视传媒檚 available and willing to talk to anyone about her experience.
SA国际影视传媒淚 can recruit girls for the Toronto pageant and I think theySA国际影视传媒檇 really enjoy it,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 a lot of work and money for girls here because weSA国际影视传媒檙e in such an isolated area, so you need sponsors to help you be able to meet all the costs.
SA国际影视传媒淚 really owe a big thank you to the Atuqtuarvik Corp., the Kivalliq Inuit Association, International Furs and Agnico Eagle Mines, which was my biggest sponsor, for helping me to compete and succeed at these pageants.
SA国际影视传媒淏ecause I won this title this year (Miss Tourism Senior Teen International), I get to go to next yearSA国际影视传媒檚 pageant free of charge so I can pass on my title to the next winner. So ISA国际影视传媒檓 really looking forward to being able to go again in the coming year to do that.SA国际影视传媒�
