Karen Bartosh - 3rd Runner-Up - Preliminary Fitness Wear Winner

1.If you were famous what would your stage name be?
The Bible states that each one should use whatever gifts they have to serve others. God has given me the gift of communication. My ability to interact well with children and adults affords me the opportunity to educate the need to change our daily habits to grow a healthier generation!

2.If you would attend a celebrity wedding which, would it be?
Over my lifetime, it can be said that I have worn many hats! Most people are amazed when they find out I have been a dancing bear, a foy-flying angel, a chubby bearded elf and a singer/dancer at the Shoji Tabuchi show in Branson, Missouri.

3.What is the weirdest gift you’ve ever received?
As a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES), I teach others that the key to “good health” is balancing the emotional, physical, mental, spiritual, psychological, and social aspects of life. Whenever one aspect gets neglected your health suffers. Therefore, all of these are equally important and don’t forget your daily vitamins!

4.What is the most random fact you know?
Galations 5:22-23 states “the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Our family strives to live by these values in what we do and say to others both within and outside our family.

5.What is the one thing you’ll never do again?
Nail Biting is a disgusting habit! I used to bite my nails when I was in deep thought and before I knew it, I had bitten my cuticles bloody. Thanks to acrylic nails, I no longer do this. Who wants to visit the nail salon daily? Not me!
