Hot off her recent win at the Miss Teen Canada World 2011 pageant earlier this month in Toronto, Howe, 18, will travel to Houston, Texas this week to compete for the Miss Teen World crown. "I really just want to go into it with no expectations, to meet girls from around the world and make new connections and friends," said the relative pag- eant newbie, who didn't enter the circuit until last November when she beat out 50 girls vying to become Miss Teen Ontario. After winning the provincial crown just eight months ago as a rookie, Howe who attend- ed Rosethorn Junior School in Etobicoke and recently gradu- ated from Appleby College in Oakville went on to capture the attention (and votes) of national judges in July to win the Canadian throne as well a title that comes with $30,000 in cash and prizes. The whole experience, Howe said, was both nerve-wracking and exhilarating. "We had a week of training beforehand at the Royal York (Hotel) on everything from how to walk properly, to the proper pageant stance, as well as cho- reography," she said. "There were a lot of long, hard days, I'll admit, but the work was combined with a lot of fun." That first week of Miss Teen Canada training also included a preliminary competition, where the 75 competing girls faced off in evening gown, swimsuit and interview competitions to nar- row the field for the finals held at the Royal Alexandra Theatre on July 16 down to 20. On the final night, the top 20 girls had their scores com- pletely wiped. A swimwear competition ended with the elimination of 10 girls, followed by an evening wear walk-off that halved the competition once again. Despite her lack of experi- ence, Howe remained a front- runner throughout the compe- tition, easily advancing to the final five. "It was insane. I mean, I was backstage practically shaking every time, looking at the girls around me and saying 'I don't think that went very well.' But I really had no idea what to expect and everything went by so fast," she said. With just five girls remain- ing, an on-stage question-and- answer session decided the win- ner and at the end of it all, Howe was the lone contestant standing. "I was just shocked. My par- ents were shocked, too, but also very proud," she said. "I was really happy, but sad, too, because I had to say goodbye and everyone went off to British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan...you genuinely meet a lot of really nice, good people from all around the country and it's just awesome." With the hype of her win settling down, Howe said she's now reflecting on the responsi- bility of role model that comes with the title of Miss Teen Canada a duty she said she isn't taking lightly. Howe who will attend Montreal's McGill University in September to pursue studies in biomedical science, said she'll be balancing her studies with Miss Teen Canada tackling the world in Texas Lauren Howe COURTESY PHOTO her appearance duties as Miss Teen Canada including sev- eral cross-Canada stops for Free the Children's We Days in Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg. As a role model, Howe said she hopes to encourage kids to become more active in com- munity service and help com- bat hunger and homelessness in their local communities. The latter issue - chosen as her pageant platform issue - is one Howe said "drives her crazy," especially when she reflects on how much food is wasted here in Canada. "There are a few organiza- tions in Toronto, like Second Harvest and Food For Life, which take food that may be thrown out in grocery stores when it's really still good and brings it to soup kitchens and food banks where it's really needed," she said, adding that she's currently working on a documentary to raise aware- ness that perfectly good wasted food can be donated to those in need. "I mean, it's great that people have a kind heart and think about people in Third World countries, but we can't forget about the hunger in our home communities. I just want people to think about that." As for her trip to Houston to compete in the Miss Teen World pageant, Howe is taking that challenge in stride. "They really just want girls to be themselves, so there's not too much prep work to do," she said. "I'm just going to go there and be myself."
