Hey everyone!
Thanks for visiting my website! As the new Miss Hawaii Outstanding Teen 2008, I was given a crown as well as a voice to motivate teens to go positive in their daily lives. Through various circumstances, I have learned that mistakes can only make us better because no one is perfect. As a teenager, it can be very hard as negative influences come our way, however recognizing positive influences are important. Through inspirational messages, I believe all teens can be inspired to withstand negative pressures. They can also express their individuality in positive peer pressure to help make society a better place. Find something your passionate about such as music, sports or dance and use it to be an inspiration.
With the help of the Miss Hawaii organization I plan on taking this website to a higher level later introducing GoPositive.org. I will be updating my blog frequently with positive messages that I hope will create better understandings of positive peer pressure. For now, feel free to browse around my website, be motivated, be inspired and GO POSITIVE!
