Miss Ohio's Outstanding Teen Ashley Miller

"Brittany's" of Gallipolis, Ohio just held it's18th annual Prom Style Review at the Ariel Ann-Dater Performing Arts Center. The runway was graced my Miss Ohio's Outstanding Teen, Ashley Miller, who gave an overview of the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Program, as well as a statement about her platform "Teenage Abstinence: To Make a Difference, Be the Difference." She spoke about how participating in this program helps young woman to start raising scholarship money for college and helps them to grow as a lady in today's world.

Ashley is a 17 year old junior at South Gallia High School where she has participated in Varsity cheerleading for 3 years, BETA club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Bible Club, PRIDE, BPA, and Drama Club.

Ashley will soon be traveling with her family to Williamsbug, VA to cheer on her twin at the ECA National cheerleading championships, where her cheerleading team hopes to win 1st place for the third year in a row. She will also be representing her high school at the state competition for BPA (Business Professionals of America) in the "Interview Skills" portion of the competition.

Amber is Miss South Gallia and is competing in the Miss Ohio's Outstanding Teen prelims and Ashley is the 2007-2008 Miss Ohio's Outstanding Teen.

So... I'm the new kid on the block...

Happy Luv Day to all!

I'm Elizabeth and, as I said, I'm new to the blog world! I'm 19 and live in Gallia Co., Ohio. I love singing, shopping, speaking, and pageants! I was crowned Miss Gallia County 2007 (which is Gallia Co. fair queen). In 2005, I was the Gallia County Emancipation Queen. I've participated in National American Miss Jr. Teen, placing 13th of 178 girls; Miss Pre-Teen Ohio, placing in the top 20; and have participated in one Miss Ohio Preliminary in 2006. I have decided to try it again.... run in another prelim for Miss Ohio. I've been working on my confidence, poise, and speaking. Wish me luck.... here I go!!
