In the past I've been a little nervous. This year I had a calm feeling. Truly I think God gave me the confidence. I just put my trust in God completely.

My platform ties right in with what I do.

The more activities they participate in, the more awards they would get.

It's an issue everywhere. There has been a cutback in fast-food advertisements for children and schools are starting to remove soda from the machines and replace it with things like Gatorade.

They always made sure I stood strong in what I believed in. They taught me that everything I do has to have a purpose. You have to give it your all and not give up. They saying that over and over again to me is what got me here.
