Step 4 - CREATE - Tell Us Your Story
A default story will pre-populate your profile. HOWEVER, it is strongly recommended that you customize a story specific to you and why you're competing in the Miss America or Miss America's Outstanding Teen program. This will help with donation responses. While you may mention your Social Impact Initiative, it is recommended not to make your story about your social impact as people may be confused and think they are donating to your Initiative rather than the scholarship fund.
Your overriding message should be why you participate and support this iconic organization.
