I am completing my 30th year as a teacher. I currently teach 3rd grade and that definitely keeps me young at heart and spirit.
We would like to thank you for supporting Maria Descamps in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I'm 60 years young! What I love about being the age I am is that I have learned that I'm a powerful, smart, funny woman and I can do anything I set my sights on. I finally understand that I'm in charge of my own happiness, and I make the decision everyday to have a positive mindset and outlook on life.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by exercising regularly. I discovered pilates three years ago and I love how it makes me feel. I also started modeling recently and even though I'm the oldest on the runway, strutting on the catwalk makes me feel like a million bucks.
What would you do with the $40,000?I adopted two family babies at birth and being a single mom and a teacher can make it difficult to keep the lights on. Winning this competition would help me provide more opportunities for my children's future. I would use the money to help them go to college.
