FCAT Writes

       I arrived promptly at school early and ready to write on this past Tuesday morning, thoughts were swirling throughout my head at what kind of prompt was going to be thrown at me from our state writing test. When I opened up my booklet,  my prompt read:  Suppose you had the chance to interview anyone. Who would it be and why?  Well,  my heart dropped and I sank low in my seat with a weight above my head because at that moment I really didn't have a clue who I should write about. About ten minutes of sitting and narrowing down the choices I had in my head I decide to write my essay about the wonderful Heather Whitestone.  For all of you who don't know, she is Miss America 1995. But wait there's a catch, she isn't only a past Miss America but she is the first and only deaf woman who has won the so glorious title of Miss America. I chose Heather because I had recently done a project on her for one of my classes and knew a plethora of information about her. Everything from service events she took part in to all the schools she attended to get the best education that she could. I can honestly say I had so much fun writing this essay thanks to Heather for being so inspiring !
