In the Miss America's Outstanding Teen pageant association, all of the contestants choose a cause that they feel strongly about. I chose Infusing the "ARTS": In Home and School as my platform, because I've personally seen the outcome the arts can make in a person's life.
Ever since I was a little girl, I've been involved in dance, choir, art, and vocal lessons. Without having the opportunity to take different forms of art lessons, I may have never found my love and calling to perform. Furthermore, being involved in the arts has given me the self confidence that it takes to compete in pageants. In fact, if I had not been involved with the arts at young age, I don't know if I would be competing in pageants at all.
I have truly been blessed with many opportunities involving the arts. Sadly, not all children get to experience different art forms. In fact, some schools are reducing their art programs due to lack of funding. If children are not getting exposure to the arts, they may never realize their God given abilities.
