Becoming the next Mrs. Florida will allow me the opportunity to embrace at risk youths through out the state of Florida. I am currently involved in a program called Teen Court. Teen Court is a juvenile diversion program where first-time juvenile offenders accept responsibility for a crime they have committed and agree to have a binding sentence selected by a jury of their peers. I motivate children between the ages of 10-17 and encourage them to make positive choices. My reward is the chance to help a child change their lives. Who knows, I could be speaking to a future doctor, lawyer, or even the governor of Florida. Children are our future.
