Dominique Rivera at Palm Beach Central High School

Via: 2017 Royal International Miss Teen Dominique Rivera

Park Vista High School ...First day speaking at public schools for The Unicorn Children's Foundation and Peers for Partners in learning. This partnership between Dominique and the UCF is really making an impact. So proud of her. Speaking to an audience of high school students and opening up to them about her life as a person with challenges is not easy to do. She expressed the importance of tolerance and acceptance for individuals struggling with disabilities and differences and it was a success! These future leaders were amazing and we are off to High School number 2... Palm Beach Central at 1pm. Making a difference. ..

Part 2 Total success! Such an amazing group of mentors they had very good and interesting questions for Dominique. It was an excellent overall experience. So blessed with the opportunity
