Miss Jamaica Tourism Queen 2009

Name: Rebecca Silvera Age: 22years old Occupation: Cosmetologist/ Business Woman Height: 5'8" Weight: 123 lbs Vital Statistics (Bust-Waist-Hips): 33-26-37 Why did you enter this competition? Miss Jamaica Tourism Queen 2008 because I have all the qualities that I think are necessary to bring home the Mikimoto crown.I believe that Jamaica has so many stunningly beautiful women with dynamic personalities and being one of them I think it's time that we show this to the world.Jamaica has never won the crown or even placed top 3 which is absolutely unbelievable because we have the capability to do so. What personal attribute(s) you feel will give you an 'edge' over the other contestants? The personal attributes that I possess that I believe will give me the edge over the other contestants are my sassiness, my spunk, my passion and vigor for everything I do, my sincerity "what you see is what you get", and my drive and determination to win not only Miss Jamaica but also Miss Tourism.I want to go to China and leave a lasting impression so even when it is all over everyone is speaking about Miss Jamaica.In addition to that I have been training for months now and preparing for this pageant I decided to enter from September last year and from then I have been putting my all into this, so at the end of the day I can feel fulfilled within myself that I have done all that I could possibly do and the rest I leave up to God. How do you intend to take home the Miss Tourism crown for Jamaica? I plan to take home the Miss Tourism crown for Jamaica by being myself. Like I said before I believe that I have all the qualities necessary to win the Miss Tourism crown.I am smart, I am sassy, I am intelligent, and I am beautiful.I love my country and I want to show the world what this little island can do"we likkle but we tallowah".If I am chosen as Miss Jamaica I am going to go to China and give Venezuela, Brazil , Puerto Rico and all those other countries that are always winning a SERIOUS run for their money!! What will be your platform (charity) if you win, and why? My platform for charity will be helping children to cultivate their love for animals.As an animal lover myself in today's society I see too much abuse and blatant disregard for animals and animal life.If children dont regard life starting with animals as they get older they will have no regard for life in general.If a child is allowed the opportunity to interreact with pets or domestic animals then they will see the value of life, by creating a bond with the animal.Our problem in today's society is lack of value of life, people dont even value their own life that is why the crime rate is so high.The bible says " train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it".We need to start with the youth and it is the little things that make such a big difference. If you could pick the winner (other than yourself), who would that be, and why? If I could choose a winner other than myself I would choose Bridgette Young.She is smart, she is beautiful, she is a very nice girl, and she seems to me as being very genuine. She displays this glowing beauty from inside from the first time we met our personalities clicked I think she would be a great representative for Jamaica and I think she would make us proud. Describe yourself using three adjectives. Three adjectives to describe me are Caring, adventerous, and Sincere. What beauty product can't you go without? A beauty product that I absolutely cant do without is my moisturizer (oil of olay) Reggae or Dancehall? Definitely Dancehall I love to have fun, dance and enjoy myself. "Fashion over style" or "Style over fashion" Style over fashion, not everything that is in fashion will necessarily look good on you everyone must know what fits them and have their own unique style. Bikinis or boyshorts for the beach? Bikinis for the beach for sure.
