Julie Rzechula

People's Choice Award

1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
The International system promotes two of the causes that are close to my heart. A woman's commitment to her FAMILY and MARRIAGE and the "Go Red for Women" movement. So for me, the International system is a perfect fit. I am a strong and active advocate for both these causes.

2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I have worked hard labor on some of our construction job sites, when needed. I have done things from pack lumber, scrape and pack foundation panels and tie rebar. Usually in the pouring rain, which makes the Pacific Northwest so beautiful. I'm not afraid to break a nail or two.

3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
Being deeply connected to my faith, my spiritual beliefs and my mental clarity all play an important role in being healthy. My love of teaching Zumba helps keep me physically fit. Faith promoting literature, practicing my spiritual beliefs and meditation for mental clarity all contribute to my overall health.

4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
Our family has a sign in the entry of our home that states, "Return With Honor." It reminds us that when we return home each day, we can say we have lived the values that are important to us. We value forgiveness, work ethic, compassion, service and respect for others.

5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
Is a 2:00 a.m. chocolate treat every morning a bad habit? Yes it is and it is a bad habit! I have had this habit for 14 years beginning with my first of my four pregnancies. The scientific community has found that this treat does have some health benefits. Justification?
