First, commitment, humility and love for Barretos. The queen has to represent well, speak well, but, above all, have time and desire to work. Go to social actions, to the hospital, visit people. Crown is responsibility. If you win the title, what message would you like to convey to the public and to the girls who dream of representing Barretos in the future? I want to tell the girls: yes, dream. It doesn't matter where you came from. If you have faith, work and love for your city, you will arrive.
