Miss Alaska

Aleah Scheick

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
I played hockey at an outdoor rink here in Alaska. It was the middle of December and I did it all in my bikini. The temperature was very low, but the adrenaline was flowing. Thank goodness I didn't fall... I was like the female Wayne Gretzky!

What would be your "dream job" in life?
A job at ESPN!!!

Name one personal accomplishment (in addition to being a State Titleholder) that makes you especially proud.
I am especially proud of the fact that I gained the trust of an Italian-American family that lives in Italy to go care for their four-year-old daughter last summer. Before my arrival in Italy all communication was done over the computer between me and the family. In the end, I gained a little sister and a second family. It gives me a great sense of self-confidence knowing I earned their trust as a complete stranger. It was one of the most amazing and rewarding experiences I have done along with my visit to ESPN Headquarters.
