text: how do i write an article to persuade someone to join the miss america pagent? i have a school assighnment where i=i have to persuade someone to do something that i want to be when i grow up. i need a little help. any ideas? tell them that the pageant will be a great learning experience. they will make lots of new friends and learn from them. if they make it to the finals, they will have an opportunity to voice their opinion on a subject that means a lot to them. bonus if you win, you get to tell the world about your platform.
