Growing up as part of a pageant family is an awesome thing… Doesn’t matter if it’s a local, state, or a national titleholder – the generational influence that a pageant titleholder can have, is strong. As is the case with Stephanie Sterui, Miss Hawaii 2014. Stephanie’s mom was a former Miss Maui – and Stephanie says she she was drawn to the crown growing up.
However, she didn’t enter a pageant until she was looking for a chance to earn scholarship money and discovered the personal benefits she would likely receive from pursing the crown. “It’s not about competing with everyone around you; it’s about competing with yourself and always working to better yourself,” she says. “If somebody says you can’t do it, brush it off your shoulder and keep going.”
Stephanie is a big advocate for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) – She’s been involved with Robotics clubs, Science Olympiads and Math Counts. Upon graduation, her goal is to become a Veterinarian. By the way, she also speaks German and played roller hockey on her brother’s team for six years (earning the Most Valuable Goalie award!). Junkies love multi-faceted state winners – and in our minds, Stephanie can do pretty much anything she wants. All the Best Stephanie – Congratulations for making the island of Kauai proud 🙂
Here’s a little inside scoop for you… Out of 29 contestants, 25 girls are new to the Miss Hawaii stage – HOLY COW!!! That’s almost unheard of in most states!
