I love this system. It helped build my self confidence, speaking for myself, talking about my platform "Type 1 Diabetes Awareness", appearances, fun challenges, and community service. I have always enjoyed when I can give my crown a voice and to do something with it for my community. I made so many friends from around the world at Nationals last year. I gave it my all last year representing my title World's Pre-Teen Miss Arkansas Tourism 2016. I was blessed to be crowned World's Pre-Teen Miss Un Show more
