Miss New Jersey Education Foundation shared Training Aspects's photo. ... See MoreSee Less
2 Year Anniversary! Looking through the photos, we realized, we need more pictures.. we have plenty out of TA but I guess since we train, we don't have enough time to take pictures in studio ;)! Thank you to everyone that has helped create, add and sustain the amazing training environment, as well as, the amazing feeling of family. When you go through a grueling training session and still end up staying for hours, the feeling of "I like it here"..Home. Knowing that Training Aspects is not only a place to train but a place to get away, no matter the kind of day you are having or if you actually have a session ;-p.We are thankful for all of you, whether you've been with us in the past or are currently being tortured by us. We love you all and to many, many, many more years of results, health, smiles and success! Have an amazing day!#trainingaspects #movelookfeel #TAproud #Talove #Tathankful#keepmoving#keepdeveloping#

Atlantic City, NJ (February 1, 2016) - The Miss America State Titleholders Association represents Miss America state titleholders who do not win Miss America, but use the quality scholarship assistance they've earned in the Miss America program to advance their careers and serve their communities. Ashlen is just one of many state titleholders who continue to inspire service and success while representing the values of the Miss America program.
"After getting a taste of research and teaching, I was wrestling with my desire to pursue a Ph.D. knowing that I was already staring down the debt of a master’s degree. I wished so badly to stifle that aspiration, as I could not see a feasible way to pay for it aside from taking on mounds of student loan debt. The moment that I knew I was the new Miss Arkansas was not only the second I realized that a life-long dream had come true, but it was also the instant when I realized God had created a way for all of my future dreams to come true. The buckling of my knees, the look of utter shock, the tears, they weren’t just about becoming Miss Arkansas; that reaction was also the manifestation of feeling the burden of financially supporting my dreams lifted in an instant. In the years since my time as Miss Arkansas I have finished my bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, and will soon complete my doctorate debt-free, thanks to the sponsors and volunteers of Miss Arkansas and the Miss America Scholarship Organizations. My crown is collecting dust. My gowns don’t zip. My flute is enjoying retirement. My education makes my life better every day. That’s how often I think of the people who lovingly donate and volunteer their time: every day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating a way for dreams to come true for so many women like me through the life-long gift of education.”
