Fannin County teen places 2nd runner up - Miss Jr. Teen Dallas

Daniella Rivera represented Fannin County in the Miss Jr. Teen Dallas Pageant, walking away with 2^nd Runner Up out of almost 100 contestants. The contest was sponsored by Nationals Pageant and held at the Will Rogers Auditorium in Fort Worth, Sunday, October 25.

The contestants were judged on their personal interview skills and modeling of casual and formalwear. This was Rivera’s first time to participate in a pageant.

“It was a terrific experience. I learned interview and problem solving skills, modeling skills and made some really nice friends and had lots of fun,” stated Rivera. “Looking ahead to interviewing for scholarships, college programs, and employment, this was an invaluable experience.”

Rivera is grateful to her financial sponsors who made this exceptional pageant experience possible.

Rivera is currently completing her senior year of high school as a dual credit student at Grayson County College. She plans to graduate from high school with 30 college credits, complete her Associates Degree at Grayson County College and then pursue a dual major in education and journalism. She’s been an active member of 4-H in Fannin County for eight years and is also a youth volunteer with Texoma American Red Cross. In addition, she’s a member of the REACH Choir at Faith Church in Sherman and is involved in the youth group, No Limits. Rivera had an opportunity to be a guest writer last summer for the Bonham Journal, where she further developed her writing skills and helped define her journalism goals.
