A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE RACHEL WYATT, MISS AMERICA'S OUTSTANDING TEEN 2013, AND TO COMMEND HER FOR THE DISCIPLINE, ASPIRATIONS, AND TALENT THAT HAVE ENABLED HER TO REPRESENT THE PALMETTO STATE AND THIS NATION WITH DIGNITY AND POISE.

Whereas, on Saturday, August 18, 2012, Miss South Carolina's Outstanding Teen 2012, Rachel Wyatt, became the eighth Miss America's Outstanding Teen. Rachel won more than $25,000 in college scholarships and the title of Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2013; and

Whereas, this historic crowning moment marked her first steps on a journey that will take her across the country promoting scholastic achievement, creative accomplishment, community involvement, and healthy living for our nation's youth. Rachel, a Piedmont native, won the hearts of the audience and judges when she performed a lyrical dance to "The Climb"; and

Whereas, Rachel will be starting her senior year at Wren High School and serves as president of her class, yearbook editor, and member of the National Honor Society; and

Whereas, in addition, she will be traveling the country speaking to audiences about her platform, Dance Therapy-Miracles through Movement, and acting as the teen ambassador for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, the national platform of the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Organization; and

Whereas, Rachel is one quarter Japanese and comes from a diverse family background. She enjoys sewing and fashion design and has trained under famous dance choreographers such as Mandy Moore, Mia Michaels, and Sonya Tayeh. An assistant in teaching a special-needs dance class, Rachel has danced as part of a Bible-teaching ministry at a maximum-security women's prison; and

Whereas, after completing a bachelor's degree in English, she hopes to pursue a career in speech therapy. Rachel also would like to continue dancing in local theater productions and serve as a dance instructor; and

Whereas, during her reign as Miss America's Outstanding Teen, Rachel Wyatt has provided a gracious and graceful role model that represents the combined qualities of intellect, talent, loveliness, and charm admired by all who know her. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Rachel Wyatt, Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2013, and commend her for the discipline, aspirations, and talent that have enabled her to represent the Palmetto State and this nation with dignity and poise.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Rachel Wyatt.
