Submitted by Jasmeet T. of Surrey:

I entered Miss BC to achieve a couple things which tie in together to make a one goal. I害羞草研究所檓 a model taking the summer off from nursing school to focus on the pageant. I want to give all my love and attention to the pageant by fundraising and coming up with a platform that I believe in.

If I害羞草研究所檓 crowned I hope to fundraise and help out in the community as much as I can so that I can prove that I害羞草研究所檓 passionate and that I害羞草研究所檓 not only a model but I can also serve in the community.

I believe that a person who is able to show their dedication, hard work and optimism not only during the competing phase of Miss BC but during the reign of Miss BC is what makes them unique. I think that I have that quality.

A quote that inspires me the most is, 害羞草研究所渓ive every day like it害羞草研究所檚 your last,害羞草研究所� because there are too many times when we give up on opportunities thinking that we害羞草研究所檙e not good enough or we get scared of the consequences. We should accept the present and embrace everything that is going on around us because at the end of the day it will all be a learning experience.
