The connections I made through Jr. Miss allowed me to attend Berry College on scholarship.  the excellent education I received at Berry prepared me for medical school and my eventual career choice.     The interview process, which could have been quite intimidating, was actually enjoyable and fun.  The judges asked interesting questionad and made the prcess delightful.  My other momen came whe my name ws caleld as the winner!  I would encourage ALL senior high school girls to particiapte in this program.  It allwos personal growth, competion amongst ones peers, and the possiblility of scholarship dollars to attend college.
