I am so thankful to Mystic Aquarium for being so welcoming as I represented Little Miss Universal Global USA! 🇺🇸 🐧🦭💙
It was such a special day filled with learning, laughter, and some incredible memories. My favorite part was definitely the sea lion show — especially getting to experience it from the front row! 🦭
I also loved spending time learning about the African penguins. 🐧 One fact that really stayed with me is just how much they need our help. Their population has declined dramatically, and without continued conservation efforts, they face the very real possibility of extinction in the years ahead.
It was a wonderful reminder that places like Mystic Aquarium aren’t just creating memorable experiences for families — they’re also doing important work to protect and conserve these amazing animals. Every donation, no matter the size, can help support those efforts.
Thank you, Mystic Aquarium, for your hospitality and for giving me a day I won’t soon forget. I am grateful for the memories and, even more importantly, for the lessons i brought home. Suzi Hosfeld Mystic Aquarium Miss Universal Global Pageant
