<p>Hi. I am Ciera McNabb from Saint Louis Missouri and I was homecoming of my school this year. I received a letter from my school about AHQ, filled out the form, and sent it in. Today,Feb.11, I got a letter saying that I have been selected from my state to compete in the state competition. I was so excited; I already got a dress for the interview and started thinking about my gown outfit and answering interview questions. Now I feel like a complete idiot. I had a feeling that it was too good to be true and I am so angry that I wasted my time thinking that I had a chance at something great. I thought it would be an experience of a lifetime and something that could really change my future. My heart goes out to all of the girls who had spent so much time and effort just to get their hopes up. I am doing all that I can to notify every school in my state that it is a scam. It is so sad that an organization that is promoting leadership and kindness in the world, is the one who is demoting it… i realize you really cannot trust anything or anyone. Im shocked that these people could get away with something like this for so long, and i hope that the girls who return aren’t brainwashed. BBB needs to get their act together and put an end to something that is fooling innocent girls.</p>
