\"Thirty<\/a>
Thirty young women from Marianas High School, Saipan Southern High School, and Rota High School learned about confidence and exploring their potential during a mini-workshop spearheaded by Miss Marianas 2015 Jian Joyner at the Pacific Islands Club Saipan last Friday. The group also had the chance to develop a community project of their own to apply what they have learned. \u00a0(Frauleine Villanueva-Dizon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A mini-workshop to help young women boost their confidence was spearheaded by Miss Marianas 2015 Jian Joyner at the Pacific Islands Club Saipan last Friday.<\/p>\n

The workshop entitled \u201cTurn to You\u201d was designed to help 30 young women from Marianas High School, Saipan Southern High School, and Rota High School to learn about self-reliance, explore their potential, and develop a community project of their own.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two meanings behind \u2018Turn to You.\u2019 We want to show them that when they want to achieve their goals and dreams they have to rely on themselves, they have to turn to themselves at the same time, with this community project, we want to show that the community can also turn to them to make the islands a better place,\u201d Stellar Marianas president Laila Boyer said.<\/p>\n

Aside from acting and dancing workshops, speakers during the workshop included Shirley Sablan of Pacifica Insurance Underwriters, Inc., Superior Court Associate Judge Teresa Kim Tenorio, and Saipan Chamber of Commerce executive director Jill Arenovski.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a workshop to help boost their confidence to help them see that they can do whatever it is they put their mind to,\u201d Joyner said.<\/p>\n

Joyner said she believes the younger generation can do more by actually going out than just relying on technology for their activities.<\/p>\n

Joyner shared a video presentation of her \u201cpersonal experience with confidence from being insecure, not liking what I see to just changing my mindset and becoming confident especially after the pageant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the group of friends that I have in high school and the independence that I had to go through in college, helped me to see that I am capable of anything I put my mind to,\u201d Joyner said.<\/p>\n

She noted, however, that one must also believe in herself. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really up to you, people can tell you you\u2019re beautiful, but you really have to believe that you are that in order to see that,\u201d Joyner said.<\/p>\n

\u201cConfidence is when you realize that you\u2019re okay just the way you are. I used to be so down on myself, I used to be so insecure,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

This project was part of the award given to Joyner for winning the Miss Marianas title last May.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe assisted her in developing the community project,\u201d Boyer said, \u201cShe really wanted to share the ability to teach other young women how to be more self reliant and be able to explore their own potential and the ability to put together a community project.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
