On Sunday it was the Miss America pageant  Now I don't get into as much as my dear friend, Tarole from One Haole Girl, but I always have a few favorites. I always want Miss Arkansas to do well because that's where I grew up. I also like Miss Iowa because our family lives there. 

I was reading about the pageant and felt really bad for Miss New York. She just won Miss America! That's a huge deal! But instead of people being proud of someone to represent us at the Miss Universe people were ridiculing her because of her background. 

Miss New York and Now Miss American is Nina Davuluri. She is Syracuse, NY and the reigning Miss Syracuse. She is the first Miss America of Indian descent, and hopes to be a doctor like her father. 

Some people were calling her Miss 7-11 or Miss Al-Qaeda. Others were saying that Miss Kansas should have won because she represented American values. I think we all have different meaning of what America means to us and we need to embrace everyone. 

I personally am glad that she won Miss America. I think we need to show all types of young girls that you can win Miss America. 

I was reading other articles about all the contestants of Miss America. They are amazing people with so many great talents. Miss Kansas tore two ligaments in a practice and wore a knee brace throughout the event.  Miss California got her Bachelors and Masters in FOUR years from Stanford. 

The husband loved the intros of some of the women. His favorite was Louisiana. •"From the home of Duck Dynasty, I'm here to trade in my duck call for the Miss America crown. I'm Miss Louisiana Jaden Leach."

So what do you think of the new Miss America?
