Jaime Looks Up To: “I look up to Diana Hunter, a beautiful woman I have known since I was born. She radiates happiness, helps others before she helps herself and, more than anything, she loves stronger than anyone I know.”
Jaime is Stronger and Wiser Because: “My mother passed away when I was three years old. I struggled for a long time with the idea that my mom wouldn’t be around to see me grow up and guide me through life’s obstacles, but with the help of my family and friends, I stayed strong.”
Part of the Solution: “A big issue facing young adults today is low self esteem and body image. An easy way to be a part of the solution is to be nice to everyone and tell them how awesome they are. Show them that they are important and perfect just the way they are.”
Cause for Concern: “I would like to be the president of an organization that aids underprivileged children. There are many evils in the world – poverty, hunger, disease – but children should never be subject to suffering. Kids should be able to play, laugh and enjoy life without worry.”
