McCorkle wins Miss South Carolina
Issue date: 9/4/02 Section: Happenings
There has never been a national spokesperson for this type of platform and McCorkle's number one goal at the moment is to have a larger forum. She is currently pushing for an alternative diploma program, which will provide another option for the learning disabled to be able to go straight from school to work. Currently, 50 percent of learning disabled students drop out from school. This platform is what McCorkle is now focusing on full time.
"I just want people to hear and be educated," said McCorkle.
McCorkle, who is very appreciative of North Greenville College, believes she could not be who she is without the help of NGC. She urges NGC students to not take for granted all that they are being fed spiritually, academically, and physically.
McCorkle's steps are now being headed towards the Miss America pageant that will be held the 17-21 of September between 51 total contestants. She is excited to go, full of peace, and with a desire to stay focused. If McCorkle wins the Miss America pageant she would bring back a $25,000 scholarship to the college. She said she would be very glad to do that for NGC. However, she is more excited to take and make known the North Greenville message that Christ makes the difference.
Clinging to Jeremiah 29:11, McCorkle believes that God has a plan for everybody. Her very life proves that God can use anybody to do anything.
"It's all about God...not about Kelly wearing a crown," said McCorkle.
She asks for the prayers of NGC students. She desires to continuously bear the fruits of the Spirit, so that more than anything, people would see Christ in her.
