posted by Rima Fakih at 5:09pm on 06/11/2010"How does it feel? Are you stressed? You're Miss USA now!" are common questions that I have been asked multiple times recently. I don't believe I am stressed at all, in fact I feel like I've gone from living a day-to-day life to living THE life. Growing up, I've watched major ev ... more

I'm Miss USA!?!
posted by Rima Fakih at 9:16am on 06/07/2010On May 16, 2010, at 8:56 PM EST, a door to hope and dreams opened for me when my name was announced as the winner of Miss USA 2010. I had worked so hard to achieve my dream of not only representing my country, the United States of America, but also to be a contestant at the Miss Universe 2010 ... more
Rima Fakih’s road to becoming Miss USA began when she sold her car to support her childhood
dream to enter the Miss Michigan USA pageant. Fakih won the state title and, on May 16,
2010, the 24-year-old won the national title of Miss USA as she was crowned at Planet
Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Fakih was born in Sour, Lebanon and immigrated to Queens, New York in 1993. She graduated
from St. John’s Preparatory School in 2003 at the age of 17. After graduation, Fakih moved to
Dearborn, Michigan and began a mentoring program to provide children with caring adult role
models.
Fakih continued to give back to her community while attending the University of Michigan, where
she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics, with a minor in Business Administration.
Active in campus life, Fakih served her fellow students as class senator and president of Students
in Free Enterprise (SIFE). She also spent time volunteering for various community organizations.
As ambassador of the Pink Fund, a financial assistance organization, Fakih is dedicated to
helping remove the short-term financial burden from breast cancer patients. As Miss Michigan
USA 2010, Fakih served as one of the first official pageant ambassadors for women’s self-
defense awareness, educating women on the importance of taking the necessary precautionary
measures to best protect and prepare themselves from unwanted situations.
As Miss USA, Fakih is a spokeswoman for breast and ovarian cancer education, research and
legislation - a platform that is close to her heart. She will travel nationwide as an advocate for
organizations such as Susan G. Komen for the Cure and Gilda’s Club, among others.
When Fakih manages to find free time in her busy schedule, she enjoys traveling, running,
dancing and spending time with her younger brother. She especially enjoys playing sports and
watching the NFL, particularly the NY Giants. After her reign, Fakih plans to attend law school
and contribute to the Service Nation campaign, an initiative that aims to inspire a new era of
voluntary citizen service in America.
The MISS UNIVERSE®, MISS USA® and MISS TEEN USA® pageants are a Donald J. Trump and
NBC Universal joint venture. Utilizing its nationwide grass roots infrastructure, the Miss Universe
Organization is committed to increasing awareness of breast and ovarian cancers by forging
relationships with organizations committed to research and education, such as Susan G. Komen
for the Cure and Gilda's Club. For more information, visit: www.missusa.com.

Gilda's Club
It is the vision of Gilda's Club Worldwide to become the international leader for strengthening the global awareness of this philosophy, and to advance an understanding of the essential bond that emotional and social support brings to the cancer experience, not only for those living with cancer, but also for the families and friends who surround them.

USO
The USO is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to support the troops by providing morale, welfare and recreation-type services to our men and women in uniform. The original intent of Congress - and enduring style of USO delivery - is to represent the American people by extending a touch of home to the military. The USO currently operates more than 135 centers worldwide, including ten mobile canteens located in the continental United States and overseas.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists. They work together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, they have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
