[[Page H6156]]

North Carolina Teen, Ms. Alyson Sharp.
  Alyson's platform promotes agriculture and, more specifically, the 
advancement of women in agriculture--girls farm, too.
  Her love for agriculture has been inspired by one of eastern North 
Carolina's legendary farmers, Pender Sharp of Sharp Farms in Wilson, 
North Carolina. Pender is Alyson's grandfather. She refers to him as 
her ``Big.''
  As Miss Eastern North Carolina Teen, Alyson remains dedicated to 
community service. She collected and donated food for a food drive to 
ensure homeless individuals had a good Thanksgiving Day meal.
  Currently, she is working with the Wilson Police Department to make 
Christmas special and to fulfill the wishes of kids across the city. 
During her pastime, she enjoys hunting and fishing.
  Miss Eastern North Carolina Teen is a crown most special to me as 
Alyson brings hope for a brighter future.
