The Miss America’s Outstanding Teen Organization empowers me:  To always be myself.  That is what the organization is really about, being yourself and doing what you love.  I make new friends everyday because of this organization. I get to promote something I love, and that’s my platform “Helping from the Heart.”  I get to show other teens that it’s fun doing service. The MAOTeen Organization is also helping to prepare me for college and gives me the opportunity to win scholarships to go out to college and pursue my dream job.
