VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR BROOKE MOSTELLER OF CHARLESTON COUNTY FOR HER EXCEPTIONAL POISE, TALENT, AND BEAUTY, TO CONGRATULATE HER FOR BEING NAMED MISS SOUTH CAROLINA 2013, AND TO RECOGNIZE HER OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE AS SHE SERVED AS AN AMBASSADOR FOR OUR STATE.
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina were pleased to learn that Brooke Mosteller, competing as Miss Mount Pleasant, was crowned Miss South Carolina in July 2013; and
Whereas, in the Miss America Pageant, she was named Miss Congeniality and received the first runner-up Quality of Life Award for her platform, GoHigher! SC College Application Day; and
Whereas, born July 19, 1989, Miss Mosteller was a South Carolina Palmetto Fellows Scholar at Furman University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in political science cum laude and was crowned Homecoming Queen, a title which her mother also held; and
Whereas, she is studying for a juris doctorate from the University of South Carolina School of Law as a recipient of the Joseph P. McNulty Scholarship and has served as a law clerk in the South Carolina Attorney General's Office and as an intern in the office of United States Representative Tim Scott; and
Whereas, she set a track record at Furman University, running in the first race of her life, and after falling in the Southern Conference 5K track race, she still emerged as the event champion. She lettered in track and tennis and has led sports camps in Hungary; and
Whereas, Miss Mosteller served as the vice president of the Furman Athletic Service Board, captain of the Furman cross country track team, the chairperson of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Furman, as the sub chair of the Children's Advocacy Law Society, and as a guardian ad litem; and
Whereas, for her talent in the Miss America Pageant she sang the Broadway vocal "Being Alive," and when asked to perform the "Star Spangled Banner," she sings the fourth stanza of the national anthem; and
Whereas, having grown up in a family where character is cherished, civic engagement is expected, faith is alive, and dreams are believed, Ms. Mosteller raised $79,293 for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals as a participant of the Miss America Pageant, more than any other contestant in the pageant's history; and
Whereas, as the founding student of Go Higher! SC College Application Day, now a statewide initiative of the South Carolina Commission of Higher Education, she learned that college completion is the number one predictor of workforce success, and that for many students, simply applying to college presents an obstacle rather than an opportunity; and
Whereas, College Application Day sets various days in October for high school seniors to make college applications online in a computer-clustered environment with the help of teachers, counselors, college admission staff, college students, and community volunteers, which also helps prepare students for their federal financial aid application (FAFSA) in February; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina appreciates the outstanding contributions that Brooke Mosteller has made as she represented the Palmetto State in her role as Miss South Carolina 2013 and look forward to hearing of her ongoing accomplishments in the future. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Brooke Mosteller of Charleston County for her exceptional poise, talent, and beauty, congratulate her for being named Miss South Carolina 2013, and recognize her outstanding example as she served as an ambassador for our State.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Brooke Mosteller.
