How has the world you come from shaped your dreams and aspirations? I come from a single parent
household. Having a single parent mother played such a big part in shaping my dreams and aspirations
because I was forced to strive even harder than the next person because I refused to become another
statistic. By striving harder, I have proven to myself and to others that, regardless of any shortcomings or
obstacles that may stand in my way, I can and will achieve and reach whatever I put my mind and heart
into doing.
Of all the ways you could succeed in your life, why have you chosen to succeed in the Miss America
Pageant? I believe God gave me an innate ability to lead others. The Miss America Organization gives me
the ability to be a role model and to serve and to lead others just as I was destined to do. This organization
stands above the rest, and, as a part of the Miss America Organization, I will be able to help develop the
future leaders of tomorrow.
What social issue, other than your platform, will have the greatest impact on your generation and
why? Social media will have the greatest impact on my generation because it is constantly changing and
developing. Through all the various forms of social media now available to us, we have more knowledge
and information than any former generation. We have the world at our fingertips and the power to do what
we want with it – positively or negatively.
