Career
Carol later followed her heart and, at the first opportunity, became a High School Economics teacher. Modeling knocked on Mississippi Bruyning"s door after the Mission Aruba 2008 Competition in the form of Aruba"s number one modeling agency Koma Models.
A few commercials, television and magazine appearances also followed.
Her past experiences with both the Kiwanis Circle K of the University of Aruba and the Mission Aruba 2008 charity project (Famia Planea) inspired Carol to do even more. After her presidency with the Kiwanis Circle K of the University of Aruba, Carol Bruyning founded the Fundacion Caranan Contento (Happy Faces Foundation).
The Foundation carries out a yearly event called Felis Pasco (Happy Christmas) where foundation members and students (most are Carol"s current and ex students) bring the Christmas Experience to families who do not have the financial resources to do so themselves. A traditional Christmas dinner, gifts/baskets, local performers and Dj"s is some of what goes on at the event.
Mississippi Bruyning later represented Aruba in the Mission Ambar World 2009 (Mission Ambar Mundial) in the Dominican Republic.
Of the 34 participants Bruyning made it into the top 15 finalists.
