I have $230,00 in student debt 🤠🤠 The narrative you hear the most from @missamerica is the story of women who graduate college debt free thanks to scholarships. That’s certainly something meant to be celebrated! But most women who compete in the @missamerica local system walk away with not even $1,000, barely enough to pay for a years worth of law school textbooks. So, why do women continue to compete? Miss America equips women with skills and resources to build up their own financial independence. My scholarships won from Miss Texas combined with the professional skills I developed over the past three years through competing has helped me create a successful business. So successful that I’ll be paying off my law school debt, in full, from my own hard work by spring of 2023 ($200,000 after my Miss Texas scholarships are applied). Money is just an incentive. The professional development, networking, and resources are the priority! ✨✨✨💖💖💖 #missamerica #study #scholarship
