Meet Miss New York Teen!

My dreams had become a reality after being crowned the title of Miss New 

York Teen. With such a prestigious title, a girl with many goals was 

ready to conquer the world. I wanted to empower children and remind them 

that they can do anything they set their minds too. On this journey, I 

raised money for St. Jude and attended the St. Jude Walk. I visited the 

Ronald McDonald House and cooked breakfast for the families. I spoke 

about anti-bullying. I sorted books for an organization called The Book 

Fairies. I also made various appearances at pageants and fashion shows, 

including New York Fashion Week. On top of volunteering, I made friends 

from all over the nation and even went to other state pageants to visit 

royalty. My sister queens and I have developed an unbreakable bond. I am 

your reigning Miss New York Teen, Alyssa Manthos.
