Miss Florida International®

Kerrington Freeman - People's Choice Winner

1.Words I live by are:
The first thing that I notice about a person is their smile and eyes. When walking into a room, a smile can be very welcoming. There are many times that a smile can communicate with someone when words are not able to be used. Also, eyes are said to be the window to the soul. When looking into a person’s eyes you can see emotion. Eye contact and a big smile can change someone’s day.

2.What are your pet peeves?
Over the next five years, I would like to complete my bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from Florida A&M University. Upon completion of my degree, I would like to work with a major television network broadcasting the news into homes across the state or country. I would also like to have a “Scars to Stars” Conference for ladies that would be an annual conference to empower, uplift, and build women from every walk of life.

3.How do you stay organized?
If I were to win the lottery, the first thing that I would do is thank God for the blessing. After that, I would secure the ticket in a safe place to be sure nothing happens to it. Once I have given thanks, the ticket has been secured, the next thing would be to plan how I can make life better for my family and others.

4.How do you relax?
The most useless thing that I’ve ever purchased was a pair of sneakers that I never wear. I prefer to be in heels and sandals then to wear sneakers. It was a cute purchase at the time, but they are still in the box.

5.What is your dream job and why?
The best way to spend a rainy afternoon is sitting by the window in my room, watching the rain and playing my clarinet. Music is relaxing and it is a universal language.
