chosen among their generation to bring strong direction to their 
community. As a leader of leaders, this extraordinary individual 
contributes their time, energy, and wisdom to create opportunities for 
many to succeed. Priscilla Kirkpatrick, from Franklin, Tennessee, is 
one of these distinguished leaders. She was elected as governor of the 
American Legion Auxiliary's Volunteer Girls State and was chosen to be 
one of the 2017 Girls Nation Nominees.
  For Priscilla, there is no limit nor bound of what could be attained. 
Her mindful service and vision for community has inspired many to go 
above and beyond themselves. Priscilla's success in the classroom, and 
involvement in several extracurricular activities has set her apart 
from the rest of her peers. These experiences have prepared her to 
perform the responsibilities that come along with this role. Franklin 
High School has been marked by her caring and serving nature. 
Leadership is not as it appears, but as it performs. I congratulate 
Priscilla for her new role as governor of the American Legion 
Auxiliary's Volunteer Girls State.
