The streets can be hard, but heroic people are harder still. Former homeless person Johanna King, National American Miss Virginia 2008-09 will be competing for the National Title in Anaheim, CA during Thanksgiving week.
Just as few once thought Sen. Barack Obama could become President or Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin could say the things she did. There is an odd sea change right now. It seems to be one of those periods that anything is possible.
Johanna seeks to use her platform to bri

King is a Junior in High School and maintains a 4.0 grade average and hopes to become a lawyer and legal advocate of the homeless one day. She will be visiting the Orange County Rescue Mission during her trip to Disney World that week to compete for the National Crown.
