Miss Point Fortin Borough Queen 2006
She’s much more than a pretty face

TWENTY-FOUR hours before appearing on stage last Friday night as a delegate in the Miss Point Fortin Borough Queen show, Candice Worrell second year UWI student wrote an important exam.

When Sunday PUNCH caught up with her last Monday morning she was again busy studying for exams due Wednesday and Thursday.

“That’s how it is,” gushed Worrell, the newly crowned Miss Point Frotin Borough Queen.

She actually confessed to Sunday PUNCH that she only just tore herself away from the books for those few hours only to participate in the pageant.

“And it was back to books.”

The 23-year-old Aquarius beauty will let nothing get in the way of her dream to become TnT’s leading paediatrician, not even the coveted title of a beauty queen.

Worrell remains focussed on her academics even as she basks in her recent victory and honours the many commitments, in and around the tightly knit community, that comes with her new title.

According to her if all goes well, she’ll enter Mt. Hope Medical School next year.

“I always wanted to do medicine and because of the special love I have for children, I plan to go into paediatrics.”

Hailing from Siparia, the young woman who returned to TnT a decade ago after spending six years living in New Jersey, comprehensively beat a field of seven at the annual beauty pageant.

The show was held at the Point Fortin Senior Secondary School.

Worrell told Sunday PUNCH she loves to draw and enjoys outdoor activities.

She has taken up a big challenge since assuming the title of “Miss Point Fortin Borough Queen”.

It is the controversial smelter plant.

“I’m going after the smelter plant issue,” she declared.

“A teacher in my conservative biology class once said that we are a people who don’t ever globalise our issues.

“I’m personally taking up the challenge of building a smelter plant here.

She said she is firmly against the government’s decision to go ahead with the local smelter project.

“My voice will be heard.”
