Announcing Rosario Rivera Competing for MISS CALIFORNIA 2015



Rosario Rivera is so excited to announce that she will be competing in next year’s Miss California USA pageant!

Los Angeles, CA – September 5, 2014 – Rosario Rivera is currently an undergraduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles studying Linguistics and Psychology. After everything she has been through, just being here is already a dream come true. However, if Rosario’s experience here has taught her anything, it is that she can expand her horizons even more.

Rosario Rivera was raised in Orange County, CA amongst a diverse background of people of all ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds. Unfortunately, her family had always been on the low end of this spectrum. Growing up she had little opportunities to be involved in the activities and wished to become a part of desperately because of our economic hardship. Her family suffered and battled through times of clinical depression and the mental deterioration of her older sister who was diagnosed with schizophrenia right after high school. During this time, learning in school became a source of support and a positive outlet for her to escape the hardship. The journey to cohere out of her childhood experience was trying, but through all of these difficult she stayed strong and confident that I could still persevere in the severe of adversity. What this experience taught her overall was that education could free one from their pain and open up a million windows of opportunity.

Rosario is now embarking on a new kind of journey. A journey to not only take what she has gained from unfortunate circumstances and persevere for herself, but to become a leader for those in a similar situations. She chose to run for Miss California USA because it is more to her than just a beauty pageant; it is an outlet for endless personal growth as well as an opportunity to reach her dream. Her dream is to spread awareness and education about mental illness and its increasing impact on low income families, and advocate for organizations that bring the much needed support for children who find themselves in these unfortunate circumstances.

With your support, I will be able to cover all costs of her gowns, swimsuits, pageant materials and pageant fees. Any donation is sincerely appreciated and will be used directly for these expenditures.
