Isabelle Musk - Miss Michigan's Teen - Leaving for Boston Thursday
Poised, polished and professional are the first three words that come to mind when you meet Isabelle Musk. I was speaking to her mom Angela when she came out to the yard to talk and as she approached, she politely shook my hand and we made a little chatter.

The idea of eternal happiness and always looking perfect is an illusion, and while her role as a dancer and now representative of Michigan in the scholarship program does require some staging, she's still a very real 18 year old, and even came out bare footing it in her yard.

Is This Anonymous Tool Making Michigan Schools Safer?
For as long as I can remember the rule on the street was "snitches get stitches" and there are plenty of movies, shows, and real-life examples of this phrase being a way of life for some people. Also, for a long time, the idea of minding your own business was considered the right thing to do because you don't worry about things that have nothing to do with you. Eventually, this was combated by the ideology that speaking up and helping someone out who needs it, is the humane thing to do.
