You Call Her a Beauty Queen

I came across this article/slideshow last week the profiles several former state titleholders from MAO (as well as the USA system) and their educational path. Here's the link.

I was totally fascinated by this feature. It certainly isn't news to me that contestants in this scholarship organization seek to continue their education. It was a real treat to see how all of these women, from different backgrounds, pageant systems, etc., pursued their education. Some finished degrees before competing, some finished after. Their career paths vary wildly, as do their skillsets and personal goals. But the common thread they seem to have is a drive for success. And that's pretty inspiring. I am definitely pleased to see these alumni doing well for themselves, and getting the attention they deserve.
