LEIGHTON JORDAN, MISS GEORGIA 2012

 

 
Title:  Miss Capital City

   
Age:  19 

   
Hometown:  Suwanne, Georgia
 
   
School:  Georgia State University 

   
Major:  Pediatric Nursing  

   
Platform Statement:  Uplifting the Special Ones; The Sibling Project 

   
What is your greatest accomplishment to date? 
 
At the age of 15, I was the only American finalist at the International Bejiing Ballet Competition.  Standing on that stage in front of thousands, while being on television, representing America is an honor that words cannot describe.    
   
What is the one thing you can't live without? 
 
Sugar!  Many people do not believe that I have a huge sweet tooth, probably more that one actually!  I love working out and eating healthy, but I really cannot say "no" to anything with sugar in it.   
   
Why did you choose your particular platform issue?

Because I have a specials needs brother, I have seen many struggles that he, my other brother and I go through daily.  I want to educate other siblings like myself that we are our disabled sibling's best friend, worst enemy, confidant, punching bag, role model, and forever partner in life.   
   
What three words would you use to describe yourself?   
Compassionate, Responsible, Engaging
