Meet Lilia Rexin - Miss PreTeen North Dakota International 2019
I am super excited to announce myself as Miss Pre Teen North
Dakota International 2019! I still can’t believe I have that title! I’m
thrilled to see what God has in store for me this next year.
Let me
introduce myself…. my name is Lilia Grace Rexin. I have lived in West Fargo
almost all of my life. We moved from Fargo when I was less than six months old.
I have an older brother, Andrew, who is in sixth grade and a younger brother,
Gabriel, who is in second grade. I love them very much and even though they are
brothers, they are my close friends as well. My dad and I do special dates like
the Butterfly Ball. We’ve been going since I was 4 years old! I get to dress up
in a fancy dress and get him all to myself at a special dance. My mom and I
like to be silly, adventurous and love the excitement of a carnival ride! One
of my favorite things to do with her is to snuggle. She calls me lovely because
God says I’m lovely and wonderfully made.
I attend an innovative school named Legacy Elementary where
I am in the 5th grade. My favorite subjects are: math, art, music,
literacy and social studies.
At the beginning of the school year, I applied to be on a
film crew at school and was fortunate enough to be chosen. Our crew aims to be
positive influencers for educating students on school procedures and informing
them about what’s happening outside of school. A goal of mine is that I want to
encourage volunteering and help teach the entire school about the Backpack
Program which is important to me because all students should have enough food
to eat. Our film crew educates but we have A LOT of fun together and make our
productions enjoyable.
We recently
got to do a fun wax museum project at school. My classmates and I each selected
a famous person, researched their life and then dressed up as that person and
gave an autobiographical speech. I researched Milton Hershey and then had Gabe
dress up as Milton and I as Kitty, his wife. I loved this project and Gabe did
a great job helping.
I enjoy many activities and love to try new things. New
experiences are so valuable in broadening one’s horizons. You can learn a new
skill, meet amazing people and gain confidence to do even more. I think that
this makes me see what is out in the world and I can use my talents for good
works.
So many opportunities exist for learning in our community.
Places such as the library, Trollwood, and Fargo/West Fargo Parks have held
classes that taught me computer coding, literature, confidence, cooking,
performing, goal setting and physical well-being. The Plains Art Museum is a
great place to learn pottery and for summer art camps. My creativity is
enriched which allows me to think about many things in different perspectives.
I’ve
participated in dance for several years, gymnastics, competitive baton twirling
(I also get to perform at Bison games), Spanish club, Lego League and Battle of
the Books, and AWANA. Some of my hobbies include playing with Lego Friends (I
even got to stay at the Legoland Hotel in Florida a few years ago!), swimming
(especially at the lake), listening to Christian music (some favorite artists
are: Hollyn, TobyMac, Britt Nicole), games, having a lemonade stand, playing
with friends and my many cousins, fashion and shopping at thrift stores (it
makes cents!), rollerblading, photography and baking (especially anything with
CHOCOLATE!). I got my first job this last summer mowing a lawn and taking care
of a dog.
With hard work, I’ve earned some awards: 4th
grade honor of Living Legend (my picture will remain in my teacher’s class
until he retires!), artwork selected for West Fargo Administration office,
artwork voted on and selected to be on a ceiling tile in a teacher’s classroom,
and high math assessment scores. I strive to perform my best and take
initiative to help.
I am SO honored to be selected to represent North Dakota. It
has been just a short while since the crown but I’ve been blessed with fabulous
sister queens and opportunities to serve others and LOVE ALWAYS which is what
is in my heart. I am excited for this journey….
“Let all that you do be done in love.” I Corinthians 16:14.
Love always,
Lilia Rexin
