AMBASSADOR
Name: Tessie Savelkouls

I believe it is so important to commit to this kind of event, because there are too many people out there who are just too scared to be themselves. As an ambassador, I want to show everyone how achievable that is. How to be themselves and how to be proud of it.
RULES
Look on the site of IAGLMA for the rules that apply to Impress the Jury.
