Real Role Models—

My Life As Miss America—
“When I was crowned Miss America 1990, it changed every aspect of my life. Not only did I meet Bill Cosby, Pres.

Effective Communication—

Responsible Pet Ownership—
“Our pets give us unconditional love and affection. The absolute least we can do is return the favor with protection and attention. Learn what your pets think, need, and love.”
