Miss District of Columbia

Jasmine Alexis

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
Thrilling but risky, scary and a total adrenaline rush, THAT describes the craziest thing I've ever done in my life. Ready to fly, well so was I, when I chose to sail through the sky parasailing at Orient Beach on the beautiful island of St. Maarten. Was it a bit intimidating? It sure was, but I have to say it was worth the risk I took. Far off the ground with the wind on my back and the turquoise Blue of a beautiful sky, I felt like an Eagle. The view of the crystal clear water and the satisfaction of knowing that I overcame my initial fear made my adventure worthwhile!

If you could have lunch with any one (1) person, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
J.K. Rowling. As one of the most creative and expressive writers of our time, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books have been credited with getting children to abandon their video games and become interested in reading again. Through Ms. Rowlings personal struggles she serves as a reminder that no matter how big the obstacle, with fierce determination anyone can succeed.

Please list any Honors/Awards you have received in the past 2 years.
National Society of High School Scholars, 2007
Duke Ellington Express: Honor Roll, 2005-2007

What would be your "dream job" in life?
To produce, direct and star on my own television series.

Name one personal accomplishment (IN ADDITION to being a State Titleholder) that makes you especially proud.
In addition to becoming a state titleholder, my recent induction into the National Society of High School Scholars has by far been one of the most satisfying experiences of my life.
