Iyana Moses, a sophomore at Shoemaker High School, has been named the Fort Hood Youth of the Year, Killeen ISD announced Monday.
After completing a series of essays for the local competition at the Bronco Youth Center, where Moses has attended since eighth grade, she advanced to compete against all four Fort Hood Youth clubs.
Moses prepared for interviews at the Fort Hood level by practicing with her Junior ROTC instructor and an AVID teacher at Shoemaker High School.
KISD said she uses her acquired skills from club and church leaders to open up to reliable people and be more aware of the feelings of others, which she used to help explain her case to the judges.
