alternative answer in case they decide to add a clause to it.
The most influential person in my life is my mom. My mother is exactly who I
want to be like in the future: kind, compassionate and a true epitome of a God-fearing
woman. She is an inspiration and a blessing for me and for others who have come in
contact with her.

would also like to ask for his prayers for our place, the people of (mention the name of
the pageant), and the less fortunate who may have Litle hope of survival .

6)Lets assume you won 1mllion Jackpot, what would you do with it?
If I win millions of dollar in a lottery, I would use it as capital to start a small
business. What is good about starting a micro enterprise is that it is not a one-time deal.
If in case it turns out to be a good business and expansion is necessary, I would easily

7)**If you had to live your life all over again, what part of your life would you
change?**
None! I would not change a single scene in my life. I am me because of what I
have been through. Changing any part of my life automatically changes what defines
me as a person, and I do not want that to happen.

If I were given the chance to live again, I would still be me. I know that there is a

it be?**

time when the Chibok girls were kidnapped and molested by the Boko Haram armies. I
think everybody knows what had happened there and no one would ever dare go back
to that nightmare except to change the past for the better.
You can still put it this way
I would not change anything from the past. The society we live in and the person
we are today are products of our past. The past is something to be cherished whether
its sad memory or happy. It is full of lessons and insights that we use today to see what
lies ahead. It is a part of history that must be respected and treated as a clue to success
and progress.
If it's an international pageant then you can go for this answer. If I were given the
chance to change an episode in the past, I would not permit for World War I and II to
happen. I think that nobody deserves to undergo the nightmare of those fateful years,
 lOMoARcPSD|27143703

no one deserved to die and no children of the past deserved to be subjected to so much
sadness and horror.

10) If God should grant you one wish, what would it be?**
*Make sure you put up a smiling face*.
If God will grant me a wish, I would ask that no one in this world should ever go
hungry because of financial deprivation and social depression. It is an awful fact to
accept that while the world is busy keeping up with luxury and innovation, there are still
thousands of faceless beggars out on the cold streets begging for aims.

**Below are alternative answers, you can pick any of them**

I would wish for the universal brotherhood and sisterhood of all of humanity. To
eradicate the barriers of culture and language, to become one solid country of the world,
to share one universal truth, and become united children of One God.

*I wish that contentment would become an innate part of humanity so that hatred
and greed will totally be over for us to have a peaceful world.

harmony . Even with all the conflicts that the human race is experiencing, if we have
complete understanding of each other’s feelings and needs, I am sure that we’ll be able

*If God would grant me one wish, I would gladly volunteer to be His instrument to
bring change in this world. Every day we see nothing but evil, suffering, grief and
sadness. This is not what the Lord wants. Thus, I would wish for myself to become His
tool – a catalyst of change in order to help people change, and I believe that with His
will and guidance, change can be within our grasp. Thank you.

prepared very well for this contest and I am ready and equipped with all that it takes to
be (Name of pageant).

12) **What can be your greatest contribution to the community?**

The greatest contribution I can give the community is to join clean and green
projects, charity missions, livelihood seminars and I believe pageants like this which

other skills can help me achieve that.

green movement.
