Miss America's Outstanding Teen

years, I have seen students grow socially and academically. A former member of the club with a consistent relatable spirit allowed students to open up and enjoy my presence. My volunteerism with this organization gave me a bigger opportunity to be a part of the Big Brother Big Sister Foundation.

powerful force to be reckoned with. Foremost, throughout my primary years of school, I always participated in school pageants. However, I wanted to compete in professional pageants on a state level, but I never was afforded the opportunity until I was a teenager. “Advancing to the Miss Teen National Competition is…. Contestant 145, Miss Jasmine Carter! Congratulations, Jasmine!” During that moment, a feeling of gratitude rushed through my body as hundreds of people applauded my victory. This…

The organization Comfort for America’s Uniformed Services (CAUSE) arranged for me to sing at a Sunday Brunch for the wounded soldiers at the Walter Reed Medical Center. Then, I was invited by a mentor to help greet the troops at Baltimore Washington International (BWI) Airport. This is when I got to know Operation Welcome Home Maryland (OWHMD). Both of these organization rely on volunteer resources to provide cards to help cheer up the troops and there’s always a need for more cards.…
