My name is Crystal
Ruiz, and I am representing the historical city of Boston, Massachusetts.
I am proud to say that I am Puerto Rican (even though I was born
in the US). My mother is from Santa Isabel and my father is from
Trujillo Alto. I am the baby of my family and luckily for me
I have three very protective older brothers.
I am currently a Junior in High School were I am an honor roll student. When I am not at school I am dancing which I am have been doing for the past 12 years in many different areas such as tap, jazz, ballet and of course salsa, merenge and bachata. Also I enjoy competing in pageants because I love having the opportunity to represent my state, make new friends and I feel that they help me practice skills that I will use later in life for example being able to have an intelligent conversation in an interview setting as well as being able to get on stage in front of an audience. |
I am very excited
and honored about holding the title of Miss Massachusetts Teen
Bellaza
Latina.
For the past year I have been able to make a difference
in both mine and other surrounding communities in Massachusetts, whether
it be from collecting money at the Children’s Hospital radiothon
or helping take patient information at the Mammography Van. All these
activities have help me to grow as a person and to appreciate all that
God has given me. I feel it is my duty to be a positive role model
for the young latina girls, to prove to them that they can do anything
they put our mind to. One of my goals is to be able to change some
of the stereotypes that we as Latina women are faced with in today’s
society.
I can’t wait till
this August when I will be competing for the national title of
Miss Teen
Bellaza Latina! I believe the next Miss
Teen Belleza Latina must be able to be a positive Hispanic role model
on both a local and national level and bring pride to her community. |
