Miss Mississippi

Jessica Lauren Mcraney

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
The craziest thing I have ever done was completing a two week lifeguarding course. It was so out of my nature, but I was determined and got through it! I am proud of myself for stepping outside my comfort zone.

Please list, starting with the latest, any schools and universities (public/private/graduate/trade or technical) you have or are attending, as well as the area of study, last date completed and any degree or certification you received.
Terry High School. 2004.

What is the most interesting or surprising thing about you, or that has happened to you?
My friends are always surprised to know that I have participated in a pageant. They see me as a very go-with-the-flow, up for anything kind of girl. Which is not what they invision a pageant girl to be. I think I am a well rounded person and can balance the different characterisitcs of my personality.

Are you the oldest, youngest or a middle child and what does that mean to you?
I am the oldest child, and being a big sister has taught me from an early age what being a role model is all about.

Name one person, family, friend, celebrity, who has had the most influence on your life.
Rachael Shannon I have a friend named Rachael and through the past few years I have really grown to admire her. She is such a beautiful and talented young lady and knows exactlly what she wants and how to get it through her hard work. I think that if everyone knew her as I they would see how strong she is, and I really admire strong will in a person.

What charity/charities have you supported with your time and/or resources over past two years? Please provide the name of the charity, level of involvement.
Alzheimer's Research Foundation - Through a school program called S.H.O.P. my organization raised $5,000 for Alzheimer's research.
