With reflections leaning toward what the title of being Miss Refined International would mean to me, I ponder what any of the titles I have earned mean. Certainly I am proud that I have created an avatar that is acceptable to many and unique to me. However, does it really mean anything?
To me, as a model in Second Life, yes, it does mean something. It means the honor of being a spokesperson, possibly, and the opportunity to be able to set an example of a refined person. This, actually would absolutely be one of the ways I could say “I have arrived” and possibly have an opportunity to make a difference, by the example I set and the help I provide to others. What I say or do may be like the footprint in the sand, to be washed away by the very next wave and forever forgotten. However, the person I am and the way I behave, to those around me, is the chance to set an example that could last.
