Hey, I'm Madison Artebury. You're Miss Teen Idaho International.
Hey, I'm Madison Artebury, Miss Teen Idaho International 2017.
I chose my platform Healthy Lifestyle Healthy U because it's important to me.
I was eight years old and I became vegetarian.
I believe that if we take care of our physical bodies, we are strong and healthier mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
I'm a competitive dancer and remain physically fit due to constant stretching and working my muscles, which means more blood and oxygen pumping through my heart.
I belong to Dance Unlimited. It's a really good dance studio and the coaches there push all of the girls that go there to do their very hardest.
I dance two to three days a week for two to three hours and I do every kind of dance except tap because I'm not about that.
Me and my team have won every single competition we've gone to with at least one of our dances and we have three dances this year.
And I also just performed a solo and I'm glad that I got the opportunity to and I won overall winner for my category.
My biggest competition is myself because I know that I can do better than I did the day before or the week before or the month before.
And I pushed myself really hard to get what I'm aiming for.
Did you know that the heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States?
There are over 28 million people who are affected by this disease.
That's almost 12% of all Americans who get this horrible diagnosis.
I volunteer mostly at runs and races like race for care and things like that because one it goes with my platform.
Two I like being out there and helping others and three I think it's racing or running whatever for a good reason.
Not only do I want to keep on going to races and runs to help promote my platform I also want to start my own website with tips and other things on it to help people know about my platform.
I like helping people out because I know what it feels like to not be helped.
My family is weird.
They're very spirited and they're super loud kind of like me and they like making fun of me and dancing very weirdly to make me happy.
Idaho is an amazing state where we have four seasons, fast landscapes, wilderness, city life and a ton of recreation is available right out of my back door.
I don't get involved with the farm animals because I'm not about that.
My dog Chloe, Chloe's a silver lab and she's super sweet.
Every morning when I used to go down to the bus she would ride with me and then once I got on my bus she would hop off the TV and go back home.
I drive the TV every day because I get off the bus after school and I have to drive back up here.
I'm supposed to go 15 on the TV but I go 35.
When I grow up I want to succeed to be an attorney.
I really like arguing with others.
