What is the best advice you have ever received?
The best advice I have ever been given was by my parents. They have always told me that people can take a lot of things away from me, but to keep going because no one is able to take my voice or education.

Name one thing you cannot live without.
I cannot live without my relationship with Jesus Christ. He is what gets me through trial times, and who I go to with all of my problems. Being a Christian is a privilege and I can not imagine life without my heavenly Father.

The most unexpected moment I have ever had was a few years ago at Jones County Junior College. I won JCJC Most Beautiful out of 50 contestants! That feeling was so exciting as I would have been happy to go home with top 12.

My workout routine is not too strict but it has worked for me. I love using the Ab Lounge daily. Every afternoon I lift weights to tone, and for cardio I alternate between power-walking, jogging, and running.

What has been your biggest accomplishment to date?
My biggest accomplishment has been my mission work in Wyoming. I had the opportunity to see God work in the lives of children in which I planted the seed. I led a Bible school class and saw children led to Christ. That is the ultimate accomplishment as a Christian.

What is the best compliment you have ever recieved?
In a journal my sister once gave to me she wrote "when you speak people listen." I think that is the best compliment anyone could receive because everyone just wants to be heard.

Who am I?
I am Holly, a 21 year old who is just starting to figure out who I am and what I am capable of achieving. I have loved being on a stage since my mom carried me across the stage as a baby. I grew up in the country, so I have a great love for hunting and riding four-wheelers.

Singing has been a passion of mine since the age of two. I love helping with children's choir and singing in the adult choir at West Ellisville Baptist Church.

I am employed as a receptionist at Dr. Middleton's Pediatric Dentistry and I love it there. Working with new people on an everyday basis is something I definitely enjoy. I will be attending William Carey University in the fall to finish my degree in Business. My plans are to eventually open a business of my own specializing in pageant consulting.

Staying in shape is something I thoroughly enjoy, and eating right has become second nature. Sushi is my all-time favorite thing to go out to eat! I am really just a fun-loving girl who has always wanted the ultimate role-model position of Miss Mississippi.

Tell us about your platform.
My platform is called "Start Now - Fighting School Bullying." It is very near to my heart and I hope to continue working on it even after my pageant career is over. I was a victim of bullying for many years starting at a very young age, and I know personally what bullying can do to a child's self-esteem.

I started at the 1st grade level going into the classrooms speaking to faculty and students on the issue of school bullying. I feel like with pro-active school systems and parents we could cut down on the problem, then giving every child the opportunity to be educated. It is impossible for a child who hates going to school because of what they may face to succeed at the fullest there. We do not have enough punishment for bullies, and it also starts at home.

I have teamed up with Dr. Phil in his quest to put an end to school bullying. The children listen to my story and then sign pledges against bullying. I believe I can really make a difference with my platform and cannot wait to take it to the next level.
