This event took place in Sao Paulo, Brazil and was hosted by U.S television personalities Andy Cohen and Natalie Morales. This is an annual event in which young ladies from all around the world completing categories ranging from swim suits to evening gowns.

I fully congratulate Miss Lopes upon her achievement, being crowned miss Universe is an admirable goal that many young women dreams of doing. This is just is a simple example to all those ladies out there that everyone has the potential to do what they want. Participating in pageants is not an easy task to overcome. Ever since I was a little girl I have always disliked pageants because I hated the idea of loosing at anything. In my response Miss Leila Lopes was crowned miss universe 2011 due to her intellectual bravery, efforts and her talents.
When I was twelve years old my mom got me to participate in a dancing contest that was talking place in my village. I had agreed to take part at first but when I got up on that stage I was so shy that I didn’t event dance. I just stood there and stare in the audience with frightening look in my eyes. I then realized that I was not brave enough for stage events. In this article it realized that Miss Lopes was a brave woman and that she might have has some past experience in stage events so hence, she just breezed past the events in this pageant and became the champion. Bravery is one main value one must acquire when participating in pageants because this could allow you to fumble in your presentation during threw pageant and this could result in you loosing the contest. Being brave takes a lot of failure and trying and trying to become better, you have to get your mind set on what you want to do and being serious at it. You need to have a lot of experience in order to get the knowledge of what it is like and what you have done while you are on stage. You also need help from a friend or someone who knows about pageants to show you how to present yourself while being on stage. Just the word “Pageant” brings hard work and dedication in my taught. If you are participating in pageants effort is a must. You can’t just take your practice for a joke or just an exercise; you need to be persistent and determined to become one of the most skilled participants in the competition. If you try your best then you will do your best, I was always told by my grandmother that “what you put on is what you take out.” If you don’t fully comprehend certain aspects of your practice then you should ask for help and continue try and try again. The last thing to have on your mind is giving up because “nothing beats a failure but a try”. Hard work brings accomplishment and accomplishment brings satisfaction and success. Talent is a capability that come s from within someone. Everyone has talents but it is just that they have talents in different aspects. In order to have talents you must be part of the reason why you want to participate in an event. Many people have trouble applying it to themselves but you need to carefully examine and refine the concept that may make it easier for you to recognize it in yourself and others, in order to make the most of it in your daily life. Once you have discovered your talent you need to positively apply talents can be inherited from family members or they could be talents that are taught and easily understood. Pageants are really com3plicated at first if you’re not fully prepared for them but only you are acquainted with them you will succeed. It takes effort, bravery and talents to partake in pageants and become a winner. Participating in pageants helps one to become famous worldwide and also to earn money for whatever they plan to do with their life and couldn’t afford it. This is also a motivation to partake in other activities that you’ve previously feared. In a nutshell pageants are a good way to benefiting you by become positive of your taught and capabilities and also to be knowledgeable off your talents and life in general.
