Wicked Local
For Lily Kenol, it s quite a bit more than walking in a fine gown, getting her hair right, or competing for a crown. The Randolph teen entered and succeeded at pageants to define herself by what she thinks of herself, not by what others might think.
Kenol, a Randolph teen who is a junior at South Shore Christian Academy in Weymouth, is the current Miss New England Teen, a title she won in August as part of the Miss American Coed Pageants. She then went on to win the National Speech Title at the Nationals held in Disney World in October, reciting a talk on homelessness in America. It should come as no surprise that Kenol, 17, has won her school s writing competition twice.
