How has the world you come from shaped your dreams and aspirations? A world of probability, and opportunity, has taught me that life is about taking chances. You must take those chances as they come, or you may always wonder what life would be like if you opened that new door.
Of all the ways you could succeed in your life, why have you chosen to succeed in the Miss Auburn Pageant? The Miss America pageant will help me succeed in life, by building life skills. I don’t believe there is a better way to prepare for life, than to earn the skills for life itself.
What social issue, other than your platform, will have the greatest impact on your generation and why? I believe the recession will have the greatest impact on my generation, because although it is effecting lives now, it is also preventing our children’s future from the growth and expansion that each and every child has the potential for.
