2010 Teen Elite USA
Victoria Taraszewski
|
I'm Victoria Taraszewski, a 19 year old, Illinois native. This June I competed at the Elite USA National Open Finals. I had no clue what I was getting into, what to expect, or what exactly to wear. I went to Texas with hopes of making top 5 in beauty and placing in a couple of my optionals. My expectations were competely blown away when I came home with the National Western Wear title, 4 top 5 finishes, and my dream of winning a national teen title came true as I was announced the 2010 Teen Elite USA winner. Aside from competing in pageants for the last 3 years, I show/train Pony Of the Americas and have been nationally ranked multiple times. I've been dancing for 17 years, I breed/raise AKC registered Miniature Dachshunds, ride motorcycles in the summertime, and have raced go karts. I also have ridden an ostrich, climbed all 704 steps of the eiffel tower, traveled to europe and the carribean, graduated high school, and now am headed to college in September. I guess you can call me an overacheiver who stays busy all the time! I have learned from competing in pageants that beauty may capture your attention, but personality is what captures your heart. I am looking forward to the amazing year ahead as the Teen Elite USA national queen. I have a great buch of sister queens, one of which is my very own mother and another is my IL state sister queen(Jr. Teen). I cannot wait to visit the other state pageants and meet all the great girls who have joined in this awesome pageant system-Elite USA. Victoria |
