Kelsey Riley

1.What is the funniest thing you remember as a child?
Voice. Everyone has a voice. We often forget to use it. After traveling to Kenya, I realized that I need to be a voice for those who can not speak, the children. Every 14 seconds a child in Africa loses a parent to AIDS. Speak up, make a difference.

2.What is the one piece of clothing you wish you owned?
I think any woman’s beauty secret is her smile. It brightens her face and conveys a sense of joy. A smile means you are approachable and confident. It displays on the outside what is on the inside. It is the perfect accessory to a positive attitude.

3.What season of the year is your favorite and why?
I take the most pride in my family’s work in Kenya. We work with HIV/AIDS orphans. We have worked in school feeding programs and school supply programs. My proudest moment was when my brother, sister and I were able to give the Abandoned Baby Center a check for $4,500.

4.What is your favorite movie?
My favorite day is Thursday. My dad doesn’t usually have to work late and it is my sister’s day off. We watch our favorite TV shows. It’s a nice break in the middle of the week to relax and be with my family.

5.What song makes you think of yourself?
I wouldn’t call it a good luck charm but a reminder. It is my purity ring my parents gave me. It is a standard I have set for myself. It reminds me of my value as a woman and to never compromise my beliefs and to live with no regrets.
