Miss Mississippi

Jennifer Adcock

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
Late one night in a large hotel, a friend and I decided to order dessert from room service. Everything sounded so delicious, we couldn't decide what we wanted. So we ordered every dessert on the menu (2 of everything chocolate). We did our best to clean our plates and loved every minute of it!

I would love to be a talk show host!

Name one personal accomplishment (in addition to being a State Titleholder) that makes you especially proud.
When I was 9 years old I heard Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" for the first time and fell in love. That day I set a personal goal to one day perform it. This remained my dream through 12 years of study and practice. It was a thrilling and satisfying experience two years ago when I achieved my goal during a live television show broadcast throughout the entire state of Mississippi.
