Heather Thompson

People's Choice Award

1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
I have chosen a life of public service because I care deeply about others. The International Pageant system is a perfect fit for me because of the system’s dedication to community service and its commitment to others.

2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I was a volunteer Firefighter with my local Fire Department. Although not a typical choice for a pageant contestant, it is both a challenging and rewarding way to give back to your community. I enjoyed every minute of it!

3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I think that staying healthy incorporates mind, body, and spirit. I exercise regularly. I make time to savor everything that life has to offer, including ice cream and fries. The important thing is indulging in moderation.

4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
It is each family member’s commitment to other members both as individuals with unique needs and strengths, and also as one unit striving toward a common goal. Most importantly it is remembering to love each other no matter what curveballs life throws at you.

5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
Coffee! I am a coffeeholic. I’m rarely seen without a cup of java in my hand. I love it so much that I even drink coffee outside during the hot and humid Virginia summers.
