“I am very excited to be in a position where I am one of the official representatives of this prestigious university,” said Sweat. She ran for Miss Grambling because she felt it was time for a change at Grambling State University.
“There have always been stereotypes about what one must look like, or even do to eventually become Miss Grambling,” said Sweat. “I felt like I had the personality, talent, and intelligence to break all of those barriers and above all things, I also felt I stood as a proud campus leader and becoming Miss Grambling would only open more doors, further allowing me to serve this fine institution,” said Sweat.
The following school year Sweat plans on implement her platform, One Voice, building better communication between the Administration, Community, and student body.
Sweat golden rule she live by “Be true to yourself” If you always follow your own mind and heart first, you will never go wrong. God will never lead you astray. Allow your steps to be ordered by Him.
