The Beauty Editor | Amway

Those of you that watched the 2012 Miss America Pageant last weekend on ABC know that the contestants of the Miss America pageant are poised, fit, beautiful and talented. What might not show so obviously is what I consider their best quality; being amazingly driven.

Whether they have faced severe life challenges such as bullying, incarcerated parents or childhood illnesses, or are simply working their tales off to earn money for a higher education,  they all convey the same driven spirit. Being backstage, I cannot even begin to explain  how hard these amazing women work. What are they working for? One of the many Amway scholarships offered at the event – totaling more than $350,000 in funds each year.

Watch this amazing backstage video to get a small glimmer at the work and dedication each woman devotes to winning this title.
