Miss Nebraska Crowned Miss America 2011 - Teresa Scanlan, only 17 years old, becomes Miss America 2011.
After being homeschooled through her junior year, this young lady has become the youngest Miss America ever. Teresa Scanlan is a Christian an hopes to inspire good morals and honesty in her future career.
She hopes to attend law school, become a judge and eventually a politician, according to the Miss America website.
She had this to say from her
blog, “After being crowned Miss Nebraska 2010 in June and becoming the youngest woman to wear the Miss Nebraska crown, she deferred enrollment to Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, Virginia, where she is now set to attend in the Fall of 2011. She plans on majoring in Government: American Politics and Policy and then attending Law School to become a Trial Attorney in Criminal Prosecution. Hoping to become a judge and eventually become involved in the political arena, her highest career goals are to become President or a Supreme Court Justice. As a Christian in the political arena, she hopes to break down the stereotype of crooked and dishonest politicians, operating instead under character and integrity.”
Congratulations to Teresa Scanlan Miss America 2011. May she wear the crown well!

It appeared she was praising God when she won.
I noticed on the AP site this morning, when she was looking up with a hand raised with its back away from her, the cutline said she was waving to the audience.
Since when do people wave with the backs of their hands?
I presume it was a gesture of praise, but we can’t allow that in the news, can we?
Thank you for stating what seemed obvious, that she is a Christian and is going to present that in this venue.
We should all pray for her mission.
God bless.

I’ll bet if asked, she wouldn’t endorse gay marriage either.

Thank you, Tom Davis! @Chuck Smith: Check out this video of her waving if there is any doubt as to whom she gives the glory. One could also check out the recent OneNewsNow article for more of her own comments.
