ictoria (Tori) Turner, a local 19-year-old who attends a Life Skills class at Cascade High School, loves pizza, pink, and when asked what she wants to be when she grows up, answers with vet assistant. In 2015 and 2017, she represented Indiana as the Miss Amazing titleholder when she went to California and Chicago, and while making friends, earned a presidential award for doing volunteer work. She has volunteered at the Humane Society, at food pantries, and has raised money to donate to Riley Hospital. In 2015, she started putting stickers on water bottles and passing them out in Indianapolis to spread cheer; she called it Thirsty for Love. Tori also participates in several sports. Beginning at age 8, she worked with her school teacher, Miss Rippy, a Special Olympics coach. She has participated in Special Olympics swim, track, skiing, volleyball, football, and equestrian riding. Tori was also on the swim team at her high school. Tori states that some of her biggest challenges have been both making friends and how to keep friendships. She states she admires her teacher, Marlena Verheys, who works at Cascade because she is always happy and teaches Tori new things. She wants to thank her parents for helping her to be the best she can be. And her advice for others in the special needs community? To work, smile, stay active, keep your head up, and give high fives!
