I was always an overachiever.

Because pornography is a tool of Satan that exploits and distorts our God-given sexuality, women - especially Christian women - need to understand the increasing threat of online pornography.

At thirteen I began modeling, doing my first television commercial in ninth grade for Pizza Hut.

If pornographers can hook adolescents when their hormones are raging, they know they'll have an ongoing consumer base for life.

Shortly thereafter, some friends encouraged me to try out for the Miss South Carolina World beauty pageant. To my surprise, I won - and was sent to New York City to compete nationally.

I stared at the television in shock, watching as my private life was revealed to the world.

After graduating in the summer of 1980, I knew I wanted my life to count.
