As a participant and competitor in the Miss America's Outstanding Teen program, I am trying to follow in the footsteps of amazing young women who are talented, self-assured leaders. One of my major inspirations is MAOT 2014 Olivia McMillan and I love this article that talks about how positive body and self image was a critical part of her success in the program. Olivia decided to make some changes in her fitness but didn't pursue a goal of "skinny," but fit, confident, and the right body for her. The positive attitude she had about knowing who she is and why she was doing what she was doing, instead of dwelling on some negative and hurtful comments, is what it's all about. As I hit the gym and the dance studio in my regular life and also for getting ready for this June, I will be thinking of her!
