Soléil Madisson Guckian is an 18 year old on a mission to change the world. She is a flurry of hard work, determination, silly faces, and love for others. As a Varsity Cheerleader, honor student, National Pageant Titleholder, Teen Council representative for the National Parks Conservation Association, avid ASL signer, and aspiring model, you can believe she is constantly on the go.
However, none of these activities mean more to her than letting her light shine by serving others and she is a true philanthropist. She devotes countless hours to her community in ways both large and small. In fact, she has been awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Award at the Gold level 4 times, the North East ISD Student Volunteer Service Award at both the Silver and Gold levels, and was awarded the first ever Texas Education Agency Student Hero Award. Soléil is forever stocking the shelves of food banks and pantries with nutritious items for those in need. She is the President if the Texas State Chapter Of Project Sparkle On, a nationwide organization that strives to teach and empower children to get involved with volunteering in their communities while focusing on anti- bullying and spreading kindness. From volunteering with the Special Olympics, The Ferrari Kid and Alan’s Hero Fund to spending time tutoring those who are differently abled and feeding and caring for the homeless population of her hometown, to mentoring and working with abused and neglected animals there is no act of love this firecracker deems too large or too small.  In August she will begin her studies at West Texas A&M where she will earn a degree in special education to become an ALE (Alternative Learning Environment) teacher for students with special abilities. As the current Pure International Teen Miss Capital City USA and former Pure International Pageants Teen Miss America, she enjoys the true sisterhood and opportunities that come from participation in pageantry. Soléil is a big believer in staying true to yourself and never changing to fit someone else’s mold. If she could leave you with one bit of wisdom it would be this, “Always remember to be a sprinkle donut in a sea of glazed!”
