Bulgarian Laura Chukanov, who became Miss Utah USA 2009 and will now go on to represent the Beehive state in the prestigious Miss USA pageant on April 19, cherishes great hopes that she will win the crown.
"I will try to convince everybody that I am a clever girl, I speak several languages and deserve to be Miss USA 2009," Laura said in an interview for Darik radio.
Chukanov came to the Salt Lake City, United States from Sofia, Bulgaria, when she was a 4-year-old girl. Her father is a scientist who was invited to California for research purposes. His work then brought him and his family to Utah in the early 1990s.
"My parents used to say that they want me and my brother to have better opportunities. They never stop telling me how beautiful Bulgaria is and my mother is often sad because all her relatives are there. Still I have better chances to do something with my life here, in the United States. I would have never been able to be Miss Utah if I had stayed in Bulgaria," Laura explains.
Asked whether she would like to return to Bulgaria one day, Laura said she definitely would want to do that even though she doesn't know for how long.
"My heart is in Bulgaria. I really want to go back to Bulgaria, but I am not sure whether I will decide to live there."
The beauty said she is overwhelmed with the support that Bulgarians are giving her now.
"This support means a lot to me. I can't believe there are so many people who know who I am and want me to be the next beauty crown winner of the United States. This makes me feel stronger and wanting more and more to be the next Miss USA. I want to use this victory to speak more about Bulgaria, about the migrants in the United States, because they can hard times when they start their new lives here. I would like to thank all these Bulgarian people for what they are giving me," Laura said.
The 22-year-old is currently a senior majoring in international studies and minoring in leadership studies and art history. Asked about her life after the prestigious pageant, Laura said:
"If I become Miss USA I will live in New York and be very, very busy during the whole year. Otherwise I will go back home and finish my education. I will spend a lot of time with my family because here, in Las Vegas, I have very little time left to share with them."
