“I feel great and I feel proud of myself that I was able to go and give of my best and my best was good enough. I feel great.”
While Lorraine has her goals set on succeeding in her education and other beauty shows, she has made a commitment to take care of her grandfather who is over 80.
“I love my grandfather a lot,” she said.
