more I thought on it the more I seen
some o f the qualities that I have that

person. I get along w ith just about
anyone. Also I think I bringm y laugh­

What I bring to Les Femmes
Debutante is... a Io, o f self respect
and self confidence, a open mind to
learn new things and try new adven­
tures. I bring maturity and apprecia­
tion ofthe way my parents instilled it
in me. I have a fun, easy going per­
sonality and greet everyone with a
smile. I bring responsibility for my
actions which I use to be a leader. I ’m
caring and loving to people I know
and people I don’t know. I bring
organization and quality in things
that I do. I bring style and a positive
attitude by the way that I present
myself and dress. I bring coopérât ion
and reasoning to every argument and
situation I ’ m involved in. Last but
not least I bring m yself because I
know where I ’ve come from and who
I am," Henderson said.

others around me by doing what I
know is the right thing. I think by
being in this group I w ill make won­
