She's taught us how to be strong even in the toughest times. I don't drink or smoke and respect everyone's values and beliefs. I get along with anyone I meet because I treat people like I would like to be treated myself.
I hope to succeed in this pageant as I want to raise awareness of environmental, social and cultural issues that we face in New Zealand. Furthermore, I believe I can relate to all teenagers.

In my spare time I mentor a child through an organisation called pillars, which works for children with parents in jail. I also enjoy going to the gym, reading, sewing and renovating my own home, which I purchased earlier this year.
I have entered Miss Earth New Zealand 2010, as it has been my goal since I entered my first pageant at 14 to win a Miss New Zealand Title and represent New Zealand internationally.
Winning the title would mean a lot to me, as I would have achieved one of my long-term goals.(Plus it would be a great thing to tell the grandkids, 'I wasn't always this old and wrinkly, I used to be a beauty queen once. I was Miss New Zealand'.
I think I would make a great title holder because I am aware that it's a yearlong title. It doesn't just end once the international pageant is over. I know that because it's something I want and because it means something to me I wont give up half way through my reign. My work behind the scenes in pageants has shown me what is required of the winner in regards to meetings, charity work, appearances and input to future pageants so I am fully aware of what I would be getting myself into.

It takes a confident woman to wear a bikini well, - And confidence is sexy... No matter what your size!" this is a saying I have always embraced. My name is Michyla Harry, and I am proud to come from a country that doesn't believe you have to be stick thin to be classified as beautiful.
Born to a solo mother, I was raised to be independent, to aim high, and work for what I wanted. These attributes have benefited me well in life, not only am I one of only 5 people in New Zealand history to have been moved up 2 years in our schooling system, I have also had the opportunity to represent our country in several sporting arenas. Having a karate sensei for a (step) father I was brought up to be disciplined, strong, respectful, and a quick thinker, coupled with a mother that reinforced the use of your brain over your looks, I became an enterprising and enthusiastic learner, whilst still being able to recognise my own weaknesses. These are all characteristics that I believe rank highly in someone that should be a role model for young woman in our country.
I consider myself to be an all round Kiwi girl, although I have the typical love for shoes a young woman has, I am not afraid to muck in, and get the job done. A perfectionist by nature, I like to think outside the box for ways to make things work, don't try to tell me I can't, or I will show you just how I CAN!

BIO:
My name is Kimberley Powell and I am 21 years of age. I live in the heart of New Zealand, Lake Taupo, where I work as a Customer Service Consultant for the Bank Of New Zealand and I have a certificate in Business. In my spare time I enjoy modelling, travelling, painting, dancing and keeping fit and healthy.
I would describe myself as a future focused and energetic person who has a down to earth and friendly personality. I am creative, outgoing and driven to achieve anything I put my mind to.
Having the opportunity to represent New Zealand at Miss Earth 2010 would be a dream come true. It is my chance to raise awareness of all environmental issues that we face now and in the future. With dedication, motivation and inspiration, I can make a difference.
