   04/30/13  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 6)

TO CONGRATULATE VICTORIA CAROL SIZEMORE, MISS SOUTH CAROLINA TEEN USA 2013, AND TO COMMEND HER FOR THE DISCIPLINE, ASPIRATIONS, AND TALENT THAT HAVE ENABLED HER TO REPRESENT THE PALMETTO STATE WITH DIGNITY AND POISE.

Whereas, on Saturday, November 17, 2012, Victoria Carol "Tori" Sizemore of Anderson was crowned Miss South Carolina Teen USA 2013, besting thirty-six other contestants at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center; and

Whereas, this historic crowning moment marked her first step on a journey that will take her to the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas on August 10, 2013, to compete for the title of Miss Teen USA; and

Whereas, born in Greenville, eighteen-year-old Tori is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Kent Sizemore and the oldest of seven siblings; and

Whereas, Tori, an honors student with a 4.1 GPA, attended Siloam Baptist School, New Covenant School, and Sizemore Academy. In 2012, she was elected senator at the South Carolina TeenPact Leadership School and was named a Palmetto Girl's State delegate. In addition, she won a Life Scholarship and Founder's Scholarship to Anderson University, where she is now a student. Away from classes, Tori enjoys horseback riding and singing; and

Whereas, because she is concerned about children living under long-term foster care, Tori created the program Forever Home to educate, inspire, and equip everyone to change lives through adoption and reunification. The program was inspired by Tori's three little sisters' adoption, which helped her realize the confusion surrounding such an important issue; and

Whereas, during her reign as Miss South Carolina Teen USA 2013, Tori Sizemore 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 Victoria Carol Sizemore, Miss South Carolina Teen USA 2013, and commend her for the discipline, aspirations, and talent that have enabled her to represent the Palmetto State with dignity and poise.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Tori Sizemore.
