Miss Lumbee 2012-2013
Courtney Lewis
I am honored to hold the title of Miss Lumbee
2012-2013. It has always been a dream! I give God all the praise and glory for
allowing me this opportunity. I know without him nothing is possible. With
dignity and pride I plan to serve and be the best role model and leader for
not only the Lumbee tribe, but for our community as well. I am the twenty-four
year old daughter of Timothy and Sandra Lewis and I reside in the Fairmont
community.
From the wise words of an old Chinese Proverb. . .
“Tell me, I’ll forget. Show me, I’ll remember. Involve me, I’ll
understand.”
Our youth are our future. It is our responsibility to ensure that we help them
become successful. This year as Miss Lumbee it is my ultimate goal to use this
proverb as a foundation for my platform “Teaching Today’s youth Success.”
Jesus told us in his word, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and
lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he
will make your paths straight.” Therefore I am doing just that! I know through
him all things are possible. Each day I have the opportunity to work with our
youth and initiate my platform. For the past two years I have been educating
our youth on the concept of mathematics at Magnolia Elementary school. I
recently graduated from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke with a
bachelor’s of science in Middle Grades Education with a concentration in Math
and Science.
Words cannot express the amazing moments that I have experienced already
throughout my reign. I have an amazing court, and I look forward to the
remainder of the excitement to come. Miss Lumbee Courtney Lewis 2012-2013
