Ms Thao said she was apprehensive because this was her first time as a “rookie” serving as a jury member at the pageant. |
It was an honour to be selected, she said. |
It is not just a beauty pageant, she said, but also a talent pageant. One of the largest in Vietnam. |
To be charged with the responsibility of choosing the contestant that would have an opportunity to achieve this unique and personal goal was an extreme honour and pleasure for me. |
There were also many additional opportunities for the contestants to win scholarships. |
In summary, I think it has been one of the most interesting, exciting, experiences of my life. |
