WEST POINT, Miss. (WCBI) – Some West Point students had a special guest at school on Thursday.
2016 Mrs America, Madeline Gwin, was the featured guest at South Side Elementary School’s honor roll brunch.

The students had the chance to hear some encouraging words from Mrs America, as they were recognized for their good grades.

Gwin had one message for students.

“I was involved in a nearly fatal car accident where I was told that I may not every be able to walk again. And it’s something that I love to share with children and let them know if they have an obstacle that comes their way or something hard that comes up in their life, that they can get through it if they surround their-selves with positive people and just persevere and  never give up,” said Mrs America, Madeline Gwin.
Next month, Gwin will head to China to compete for the Mrs World title.
