"From hanging with One Direction to rocking gorge gowns on the red carpet, check out Danielle Doty&amp;#039;s favorite memories from her yearlong reign as Miss Teen USA in Seventeen&amp;#039;s exclusive Q&amp;amp;amp;A!  Seventeen: What were your fa  vorite events that you attended? Danielle Doty: 1. People&amp;#039;s Choice Awards. This was the first red carpet event that I ever attended. I was interview by big media outlets and stood next to huge celebrities. I was a little star struck, but looking back it was amazing to be apart of. 2.USO Entertainment Tour in Germany. Besides the Bahamas, this was my first trip overseas and I was able to experience it with Miss Universe, Leila Lopes and Miss USA, Alyssa Campanella. It was here that we truly formed our sisterhood.  3. The 2012 Miss USA Competition. I wrapped up my year as a behind-the-secnes correspondent for the competition, was on the red carpet interviewing celebrities and putting my journalism skills to the test. This brought all of the hard work I have done throughout my reign together and foncifmed the career path that I would like to take for myself. Seventeen: Who were the top three people you met during this experience? Danielle:  1. A young girl named Christi from Project Sunshine. I worked closely with this organization which is dedicated to providing educational, recreational, and social programs for children living with medical conditions. She and her story really touched me and I will always keep her close to my heart. 2. One Direction. I love this band and met them during my reign.  3. Mr. Farouk Shami, founder of CHI and our official hair care sponsor. I really admire him as a businessman and a friend. What was your favorite moment to read about?
