My mother gave me this book for Christmas when I was younger, I have never forgotten the impact in made in my life. This book made me realize my dreams and helped jump start my education. I competed for the title in my hometown of Warden for the Warden Junior Miss Program. After winning the title, I then competed at the Washington Junior Miss Program. I did not win however it did help me realize that dreams are very reachable.

This book is great for young adults. I recommend it to parents for their teens.
