As a parent, it is so encouraging to see kids doing great things! BTW - Good choice to go with National American Miss. My daughter was in it as well (in Ohio) and loved it. First, I checked it out and was amazed at what a great program it is and that I had not heard about it. Really like the emphasis on job interview skills, community service and public speaking at NAM. Snaps to you for your resourcefulness, and for perseverance in making your dreams come true. Keep up the good work! " We encourage your feedback and dialog. All comments are moderated by the editors.
