Miss Georgia hopes to bring title back to midstate

By Jenny Gordon

It all started as a way to pay for college.

Now more than four years later, Amanda Kozak is competing in one of the largest scholarship pageants in the world - the 2007 Miss America Pageant. To date, she has earned more than $30,000 competing in pageants, which has enabled her to graduate from college debt-free.

The reigning Miss Georgia has more than a few fans in her home state, many in Middle Georgia. Kozak, 22, graduated from Warner Robins High School in 2002 and earned a Bachelor of Science in early childhood education from Valdosta State University in 2006.

Kozak will be competing for a title that only one other Miss Georgia has won.

Neva Jane Langley Fickling, a 1955 magna cum laude music graduate of Wesleyan College in Macon, is the only Miss Georgia to win Miss America. She won the title in 1953.
