Biography: Life is full of surprises and everything happens for a reason; whether good or bad. For every bad thing, expect something good and for every good thing, expect something GREAT! This motto supports my philosophy of life.
Born on the 18th of May, 1991 to Nicole Williams and Llewellyn John this Taurus Gem has grown to become a beautiful, confident, vibrant, energetic and self determined individual who finds comfort in helping young children and motivating others to achieve their goals. I possess a strong determination to distinguish myself from the ordinary and become a catalyst for change.
My formal education began at the Head Start Nursery School, then to Sacred Heart Primary School where I gained a position at Saint Joseph High School after writing the Secondary School Entrance Examination. After completing CSEC and graduating with distinction I attended the Bishops’ High School where I gained my Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Diploma. I am currently pursuing studies at the University of Guyana in History. This move takes me one step closer to fulfilling my desires making my life -long dream a reality. My dream and aspiration is to become an Attorney-at-Law in an effort to help to rid the world of injustice.
Apart from being an optimist and bursting at the seams with the love of life, I marvel in the joy of meeting and interacting with new persons and if chosen to represent Guyana would value the privilege of being able to see the world through different cultures. I possess an innate love for singing, dancing, modeling, meeting interesting people, reading romance novels, listening to music and hanging out with my friends. I try my best to be involved in community activities and enjoy helping my peers! My involvement in community activities has placed me among other individuals who believe in the greater good of seeing others excel.
I like competing in pageants as it helps one to become more aware of self and opens the doors to countless possibilities. I proudly hold the Miss Saint Joseph Junior Crown for 2006, The Miss Mocha Beauty and Intelligence Pageant and the Miss East Bank Demerara Beauty Pageant for 2007and see myself representing Guyana at the prestigious Miss World Pageant.
Anyone who spends at least five minutes around me would notice that I have no trouble smiling and I enjoy putting smiles on the faces of those persons.
As a strong and positive individual, I want to encourage youths to set goals and a have a positive outlook on life and its principles, developing leadership qualities and a sense of love and respect for each other also, to be self sufficient and focus their attention only to positive influences in our society. I believe that any dream can become a reality through hard work and sacrifice. I credit my success as a young lady to my mother, who has been a constant source of encouragement and a rock to lean on in tough times.
