First I'd like to take the time to thank my heavenly father for the opportunity to regain as your ambassador of the Turks and Caicos. Warm hearted thanks also to my family and friends who've supported me through this wonderful experience.

Competing in this year's 2006-2007 Miss Universe Pageant was an unforgettable experience, one in which I will carry with me throughout my life's journey.

To the ladies competing for this year's title as Miss Turks & Caicos 07/08, remember first and foremost this is a competition, however the friendships made during this amazing journey can and will be life lasting. In the end there can only be one Queen, be a supporter to her as she will need a body to be whole.

To the young lady who will walk away with this title, remember to embrace every moment of it, love and live it to the fullest of your ability. Remain humble and graceful, take on your new role whole heartedly for you are now the role model for so many young girls wanting to someday fill your shoes.

When you are asked "if you had the opportunity would you do it all over again?" your answer should be as mine is "YES, in a heartbeat".

Your Queen
Ms. Saneita Been
