I believe that beauty is being totally confident in who you are as a person.

My name is Alyssa Gum, I am a senior in high school and a student at The Ohio State University. I'm a vegetarian and an advocate for suicide prevention, involved with the Central Ohio chapter of the AFSP. I am also Miss Teen Ohio United States 2014!

I love animals, skiing, snowboarding, reading, spending time with friends, and spending time outdoors!
