CHEAPER

BETTER?
in public speaking and in setting
career goals. She said, “4-H taught
me my modeling skills, which
helped me in the pageant. I’d like
to see more kids get involved.”
Although she has tried to solicit
her friends into joining, she hasn’t
been too successful. She said,
“They complain, ‘I can’t sew.’”
Alissa said, “They don’t realize
that I couldn’t either before I
became involved with the prog
ram. It takes patience and
practice.”
Unlike many seniors, Alissa is
not counting the days until school
is over. “I’m the emotional type,”
she admits, “It will be difficult to
break away from it.” Although she
makes good grades she said,
“Grades don’t come easy for me. I
work for what I want.”
Because Alissa enjoys people
and looks forward to telling them
about poultry products, she
believes she’ll do a good job in
being a spokesperson for the poul
try industry.

still help on the chicken farm,
which their father owns. “1 miss
the open spaces we had at the
farm,” she said.
She admits to dreaming every
since she was a little girl that some
day she’d be the poultry queen.
This was her first try at the poultry
queen crown. Last year she placed
in the top ten out of 50 girls vying
for the Miss Teen crown. She said,
“I think every girl should experi
ence being part of a pageant.” At
this point, she doesn’t forsee enter
ing more pageants. She intends on
doing a competent job as the coun
ty poultry queen. She explained, “I
know my limitations, but I try to do
the best I can do when I take on a
project.”
That’s who Alissa Hoobcr is. A
conscientious teen, determined to
do the best she can in all that she
tackles. And always, she smiles a
gentle, caring smile. Oblivious of
any snobbery despite her succes
ses, she concentrates on showing
concern toward others.
