Luke 6:38 โ€œGive, and it will be given to you.โ€ 

South Carolina, what an honor it was to represent the Palmetto State this year, and I hope I made you proud. This year I learned wisdom, integrity and how to be authentically myself. Although it may not have been pretty at times, itโ€™s safe to say that this year I was pushed to recognize my own potential. 

For the last time I am Leah Scarmeas, Miss South Carolina Teen USA 2025

The prep is done, now itโ€™s time to show it. 

As I try to get in last minute prep before finals, I canโ€™t help but reflect on these last 2 months. Iโ€™ve been living a dream, but itโ€™s one built on years of passion and hard work. 

Advocating for military children like myself and showing their resiliency sharing my story and inspiring others to share their stories. No longer are my differences my weaknesses. Instead they have become my superpower. 

No matter what unfolds today, I am confident that my God doesnโ€™t deal out accidents. He uses all things for the good of those who believe in him whether they wear an earthly crown or not. My hope is in Heaven, even while my feet are planted in Reno๐Ÿ˜‡โค๏ธ
