At the preliminary battle for Miss America in Atlantic City, there were a lot of well-dressed women and polished performances. But one contestant dared to be different. In her nurse scrubs, Kelley Johnson, representing Colorado, took the stage and gave an emotional speech about her time caring for a person with Alzheimer’s.
The people in the room were glued to her every word as she told her story. The unusual performance was a breath of fresh air, and it showed how compassionate, empathetic, and dedicated Kelly is to her job. She wasn’t good at singing or dancing; she was good at telling a powerful true story that touched people deeply.
Kelly loves her job so much that it shows in everything she does. She is a qualified nurse and the top student in her nursing class at Grand View University. A lot of people already love her because she is brave, open, and determined to make a change, even if she doesn’t win the crown.
