茄子视频 U. Sophomore Vies for Miss Pennsylvania International Title
Cranberry Township native Sarrah Bair, a 茄子视频 University sophomore biology major, will compete for the title of Miss Pennsylvania International.
At the beginning of February, Bair won the title of Miss Cranberry Township. Next Bair will compete at the Miss Pennsylvania International Pageant on March 20, in Altoona, Pa., with the platform 鈥淪elf Esteem and the Role of Tobacco Use Among Young Women.鈥�
鈥淭hrough research, I have found that many young women, regardless of their background, have low self-esteem and low expectations for the future,鈥� said Bair. 鈥淭hese perceptions lead to an increased use of tobacco products among younger girls as their stress continues to increase.鈥�
Bair鈥檚 interest in pageants was sparked rather ironically.
鈥淚 was watching the Miss America pageant with my roommates and told them all that I could do the same things the competitors in the Miss America pageant do. My friends laughed and said my goal was an impossible one,鈥� said Bair. 鈥淚 decided to apply and compete in a pageant to see if my talents would help me succeed. Much to my friends鈥� surprise, I did win. And, now, I鈥檓 competing for Miss Pennsylvania International.鈥�
