As an aspiring candidate, Michelle is aware that becoming a beauty queen takes a long road to success. You don't need to be an athlete to become a complete package to become a future ambassadress of beauty. As a beauty pageant hopeful, your physique is not only the basis for you to become a perfect caliber candidate. You need to prepare your emotional well-being to balance your personality as you deal with different individuals and groups. The mental preparation needs patience as you are exposed to a variety of publicity that is full of surprises. In addition, diet is an important takeaway before you will achieve the perfect figure to display in front of the stage.
Joining beauty pageants is another dimension for Michelle Gumabao. Leaping from playing volleyball is a significant change in her life while she is waiting for the next season of Philippine Volleyball League to resume sometime later this year. If in any chance that she will clinch one of the crowns, things will start to change her career as she is required to stay with the Binibining Pilipinas Charities until her successor will be crowned next year. This means that Michelle will halt her volleyball career until her reign as a beauty queen is over. If she will win an international beauty pageant competition, the duration of her vacation to her volleyball career might have to take longer.
