Bonjour everyone!

As you all know, last week I was a part of the Miss Teen Canada-World 2010 pageant, and let me say, it was AMAZING. I met so many people, Michelle, the choegoraphers, chaparones, makeup and hair artists, and last but not least, the 62 amazing girls from across Canada. Its truly amazing(and yes, I will be using that word lots in this..hehe) how I became so close to the girls in such a short amount of time. To know that I've made life long friends with the most brightest and most beautiful girls from around my country is actually an honor. I love you girls :)

Everybody had a fun-filled week, we were constantly having fun-even if it was 12 am and we were listening to Omar yelling out the counts for the dance..:)- and I would do it all again in a heart beat. We visited the CN Tower, went on a boat cruise with Damn Heels,- ET Canada and Inside Fashion were present!- went on the Hippo Bus Tour, visited some of the best restaurants in Toronto, and SO much more! I have gained so much from this experience. Friends, knowledge, and last importantly more confidence. I honestly realized so much more about myself. I always had confidence, but i've gained so much more because of Miss Teen Canada-World, its amazing. ALSO, I have to add that the girls raised over 70,000$ for Free The Children, that is INCREDIBLE! Congrats to Danielle for raising over 12,000$! Have fun on your ME to WE trip!

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone. Everyone involved with the MTC-W pageant, backstage helpers, makeup and hair artists, Michelle, Omar, Anthony, Glenroy, Shawn, Christopher Heely, Elmer Olson, Carrie, Chris, EVERYONE, thank you so much for everything, you helped make this experience an unforgettable one. Also, Mom, Kenny, bestfriends, sisters, family, friends, NEWFOUNDLANDERS, I cant thank you all enough for your support. Winning People's Choice wouldnt of been possible without all of you Newfies! We may be a little bit crazy, but we are all for supporting eachother :). Oh yes, and just a thank you to everyone, if I forgot anyone, know that I am thankful!

I figured I would also talk a little about my Quebec girls. Wow, there is so much to say. Amazing isnt the word for them. Natasha Heinz, Savannah Ragueneau and Merve Kulbay, I love you girls SO much. I dont even consider you girls my friends, I consider you my sisters. We were always laughing! You girls taught me to make the best of every situation..when we were tired, and hungry, you girls could make me laugh and forget about being tired and hungry. Its not the end for us my Quebecois! Newfoundland and Quebec will reunite again :) Vive La Quebec.. et Terre-Neuve<3!!

And finally, my time with the MTC-W pageant was amazing, every thing I've learned and gained, I will take with me forever! I couldnt have made a better choice by entering the pageant, it was totally worth it. Thank you SO much Michelle, for giving all the girls this amazing opportunity, it really does change lives. Thank you <3
