My teen Vanessa and I were asked to be celebrity readers at Greenwood Elementary in SCS last week. Among the other celebrities was a police officer and Justin Beiber! JK
We read to about 5 classes and were asked after each reading to explain our platform and what the Miss America Organization is all about. After explaining that a platform is community service that each person chooses to focus on and that mine is Keeping Kids Drug-Free, a young girl asked me why I chose it.
I quickly scanned my brain...how to answer in an age appropriate way to this child? I told her that I had some friends who went down the wrong path and turned to drugs and alcohol, and I decided to talk to kids about it so they can live healthy and drug-free lives.
It was a really great day. We had lots of fun!!
Also I got to see my Little & Teen compete at Jump dance competition. SCS <3!!
