Miss Florida

VictoriaRatliff

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
When I was three years old I fell in the toilet while using the bathroom. My brother says all he could see sticking up was from my neck up and knees down. I was screaming for my mother to come and save me, but all he could do was laugh!

I graduated 3rd in my class.
I was the vocalist of my high school commencement.
I did tap, jazz and hip-hop dancing at Steps on Broadway in New York City.
I performed during the pre-game show in 2003 and 2005 for the Liberty Bowl.
I worked with over 200 children and teens by teaching them dance choreography for the 2005 Annual St. Jude Gala.

What are your strongest talents?
One of my strongest talents is being able to work with my peers and help them make the right decisions later on in life. I have also developed a skill for performance and entertainment which is very strong.

Name one person, family, friend, celebrity, who has had the most influence on your life.
Brandy Fox - my sister. My sister has traveled with me everywhere I have gone throughout my life. When I was just a little girl she would take me shopping and out to eat with her on her dates, which is a lot since she is 12 years older than me. With every problem I have faced, she has been there to give me her advice and help me through it.

Describe how you envision yourself in five years?
I have just graduated from a four-year university with a double major in communications and performing arts. I am now beginning my career and starting a family of my own as well as continuing to help with my current charities and possibly more.

What else do you want the judges to know about you?
As Mis Teen USA I would use my time to extend my charities to a higher national and international level. I would contact St. Jude Hospital, Annabelle's Wish, Ronald McDonald Charity House, and others about giving speeches and even developing new ways to raise money for such organizations.
