I talked to the Queen about her thoughts on the weekend. She said, "It was truly an honor being in the presence of such distingushed guest. As a University student attending Penn State, I know first hand how expensive education can be. The scholorship I received from LUWIP at the Miss Liberia in the US Pageant helped me greatly in getting the books and items need for the semester. I am so proud that I can help other Liberian students with some of the burden that comes the with expense of getting a higher education."
