Who Is Sierra Wright?
Before competing in Miss USA, Sierra was crowned Miss Delaware Teen USA in 2015.
I was a pageant queen.
I competed at Miss USA," she said.
This is for you, Dad.
Let’s see if I can do it.
I’m gonna venture to make fire."
I feel like I can bring that to them.
I was always the one who would my family would call on.
If somebody got sick, I would be the one going to take care of them.
But I actually started off as a news reporter.
That was my first career.
And I don’t think anybody tells you it’s not as glamorous as it looks.
I mean, I was lugging around a big-a** camera.
I’m doing all this stuff, and it’s not a glamorous thing.
And, for the pay, it was tough.
It was hard to even afford my rent.
So I’m like, ‘Okay, we gotta make a switch.
We gotta change something up.’
I come from a family of nurses.
My mom’s a nurse.
My cousins are nurses.
So then I went back to school and took the chance.
I did an accelerated nursing program, 17 months.
Pretty brutal 17 months, but we did it.
And now, I love being a nurse."
Aside from that, your girl loves a good challenge!
When I first applied five years back, people laughed at me and said ‘you could never!’
I said, ‘oh, you watch.’
Here we are!"
She also confessed she"could really use that mil!
“to cover her $100,000 of student debt.
It really armed me with the skills you oughta effectively communicate.
Smile and wave, baby!
Smile and wave.”
