TESTIMONIALS

 

It was a privilege to be able to participate in the Latina Pageant and always honored to represent my Heritage.  I can't stress enough how happy I'm with the award I received. It means the world to me. This will open doors for my career, I just know it. 

 

I can probably go on forever naming how each of you impact my life in a positive aspect, I've learned so much this weekend.  Thank you for everything.

On behalf of our entire managemente team, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on the success of the Miss Latina US and Miss Teen US Latina pageants at the Eastern States Exposition.  The production was extremely professional in every respect.  The young women contestants, as promised, were great role models.  The media reception in greater Springfield and beyond exceeded our expectation.

 

We look forward to continuing our relationship and building on our current success.

Thank you very much for the wonderful experience that you provided and for my award in “Outstanding Achievement”. 

 

I learned a lot about pageants and I always will remember this first one. Hope to see you on another occasion. Perhaps one day you can have the pageant in my hometown Savannah, a very nice city in the South of the USA.

Thank you so much for the marvelous experience for my daughter Sara Agüero Jahannes to participate in the Miss Latina US Pageant 2006.

 

Perhaps one year the pageant will come to our beautiful city of Savannah.

I would like to thank each and every one of you for everything that you did to make this experience such a great one. I believe very much in this organization for its purpose to create better role models within our communities. Aside from her physical attributes the Mujer Latina merits recognition of her success and motivation to achieve her goals. Thank you for believing in preserving the integrity of not only the Latina but of women worldwide.

I have been working with a modeling agency out of Florida and just recently wrapped up a photo shoot with New York photographer Brad Starks. Being a part of the pageant last year was such an awesome and life changing experience that I have continued on pursuing the arts and modeling which is something I didn't realize I enjoyed so much. I most recently got to be a part of a Vogue runway show, and I am currently working towards opportunities with the TV and film industry.

It was truly one of the greatest and most rewarding experiences I have had.  I walked away with a deep admiration and respect for each of the contestants Teen and Miss alike, and made friendships which I know will last my lifetime.

Miss Latina US 2005

 

 

Despite my early prejudices toward beauty pageants, I find myself immensely gratified with my experience.  I am very thankful to those who supported me, encouraged me to participate, and the wonderful opportunity to represent Hispanic women as I take part in many exciting and worthwhile events.  This has been a wonderful experience and one that I will cherish for years to come.

 

I have found an awesome and wonderfully unexpected joy in being Miss Latina US for a year in my life… I’ve learned that some of life’s greatest treasures are the ones we don’t seek -- but find us instead.  The unexpected, unplanned paths in life we’re courageous enough to take without knowing where they may lead are often the most rewarding.

I wanted to congratulate you again on the awesome job you did at the pageant.

 

After talking with Miss New York Latina, I know that we made the right decision with her.

 

Thank you for thinking of the Spirit of Arbonne Award.

I would like to say that I very much enjoyed the time that I was in Cancun.  I feel like I have made friends for life. 

 

I have to say with this pageant I have learned so many things and have grown as a person.  It was so different in a positive way, and everyone was so nice.  I commend you and Acirema for an outstanding job, very well done!!! 

 

I know this year at the Miss America Latina the U.S. (Miss New York) will do an outstanding job!  And I am very proud to be a part of such a great organization.

Muchas gracias a las hermanas Alayeto por las oportunidades brindadas hacia mi persona. Esta experiencia siempre será una de las mejores de mi vida y llevaré a cada persona que conocí y cada momento que viví en mi memoria y en mi Corazón.

I want to thank you both for everything. I love the experience

I had with all the girls. Even though I didn’t win the crown, I do think I am a winner, plus all the experience I gained from the pageant I wouldn’t change it for anything.

 

Once again, I hope that you still make so many girls’ dreams come true by having these pageants.

Just want to thank you for the great experience that I had in Cancun. It was amazing. I enjoyed every bit of it.


Take care and thank you for this wonderful experience and new friendships.

Miss Oregon Latina 2005

 

 

I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful adventure, I really had a great time in Punta Cana and I’m very grateful I was able to be part of such a beautiful event.

 

I’d like to say that the tag line for the state pageant was “tu sueño real” and that's exactly what I got. Riding horses in the beach and swimming with dolphins were dreams I always had, the sharing and enjoying of such a paradise with wonderful and beautiful new friends made that week unforgettable, and that’s just the best gift that I will forever cherish. It’s been about 4 months since my return from the pageant and I haven't stopped showing off pictures and stories. I’m sure that’s the same for all the other girls.

I just want to thank all of the organization for making a dream out my vacation. Everything was more than perfect. You guys took good care of us and made sure we were treated like queens. This was a great experience for me. I learned sooooooooo much and made friends with many wonderful girls.

 

This was an experience that I cannot forget and that will prepare me for future ones. It is definitely something that I would do again and use what I learned towards other experiences. Thanks so much for your support.

I just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to be part of the delegates of Miss America Latina this year. It was a wonderful experience for me.  I want to congratulate you and the organization for doing a great job motivating young women to be pretty but most important to motivate them to explore their intellectuality.

Once again, thank you for the opportunity I had in representing my adoptive country. Keep up the great job!!!
