Finalist Miss Teen Canada 2022
Mélissa L
Hello,
Melissa, 18 years old is from a little town near Montreal, named Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.
Currently in her second year in the social work technician program at the Cegep of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, she’s proud to be one step closer to be a social worker.
As a rehabilitation educator, she is in constant contact with young people with special needs and environments at risk. This work allowed her to discover her interest in aid relationship, but also in communication and it is with the title of Miss Teen Quebec 2017 that the young woman will have discovered her love for the stage.
Being able to help younger generation in need and their families to grow as well as to help the kids develop more helpful life skills is very important to her. She finds it very important now more than ever because of what happening all around the world right now. People need support, they need to feel like there is people ready to help them, not judge them for their past, their education or financial status.
The past years, and of course the pandemic made her understand that no matter how long it may take, how many mistakes we made or how many bends we’ve experienced, the most important is where we are now and that no matter what decision we make, we should never feel guilty for taking decisions for ourselves and prioritizing our mental health.
As one of your Miss Teen Canada 2022 finalists, Melissa is proud to be able to represent young people. As a country like Canada, Canadians need to take care of our littles ones… because nevertheless, they are the future of Canada.
