What did you gain in TSA?
The former, two-time Georgia TSA state officer who competed in Extemporaneous Speech and Video Game Design says the biggest lesson she learned in TSA was how to overcome adversity. "Even though you face defeat, you are not defeated. You still have worth, you still have value, and you can still become something great if you believe in yourself.”
She adds, "Thank you TSA for making me the leader I am" and lauds her TSA chapter advisor Christie Schmitt as "advisor of the century."
