Now, I know that it\u2019s so much more than just beauty. It\u2019s all about your integrity and the difference you want to make in your community,\u201d Smith says.<\/p>\n<p>The sophomore from Waukesha is focusing her platform on Colin\u2019s Crusade: Breaking The Barriers of Addiction. It\u2019s based on the sudden death of her brother Colin, who died in 2013 at age 26 after battling alcoholism. Smith plans to connect with families and friends of addicts, attend group meetings, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, and work with churches and rehabilitation facilities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My platform is about spreading his story in order to speak to adults and children and provide them with a face, not just a statistic, of someone who was affected by an addiction to alcohol. I also believe the perception and stigma attached to addiction silences many families. If society correctly understood addiction and was more open to discussion, we could get help for these victims much sooner,\u201d Smith says<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UWM nursing student Rosalie Smith will represent Wisconsin in the 2016 Miss America Competition airing at 8 p.m. Sunday on ABC.
