Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Teresa is the daughter of Mark and Janie Scanlan and is from Gering, Nebraska. She was born in Colton, California, and then grew up in Gering. As the middle child of seven, Teresa was homeschooled through her junior year of high school, when she attended Gering High School part-time, and then attended Scottsbluff High School full-time for her senior year, graduating from SHS in May of 2010.
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.
As Miss Nebraska 2010, Teresa is working to promote her platform, Eating Disorders: A Generation at Risk, which is a personal issue to her because of a close friend's struggle with bulimia. She hopes to educate children and adults alike as to the signs and risks of eating disorders, as well as how and where to get help for themselves or a loved one. As a partner with the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, or ANAD, and the National Eating Disorders Association, or NEDA, Teresa will advocate their cause and work to implement positive attitudinal and behavioral change across the state. Throughout her year of service, she will work to inspire adolescents to make healthy choices in every area of their life in order to be the best person they can be and to achieve their goals. She hopes to help others regain confidence in themselves and challenge them to redefine beauty, based on inner qualities rather than outward appearance. As God's children, every person is unique and incredible in every way, and should embrace who they were made to be, rather than hurting themselves in an effort to change.
In her spare time, Teresa enjoys singing, acting, dancing, playing piano and guitar, composing songs, baking, participating in activities with her local church, and making clothes out of duct tape, among many other hobbies. Teresa will be going to Las Vegas to represent Nebraska at Miss America in January. Be sure to watch her LIVE on ABC from Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Saturday, January 15th!
age of consent = 17 in Nebraska
wow....do you have one of those cards with the age of consents printed on the back?
Just used Google. Old enough to be Miss America, old enough to go to the store.
“Imagine...women who honor men enough not to tempt them.”
Not in this picture, but on the morning news I thought she looked a lot like Martha McCallum. I was interested in her resume. She sounds like a wholesome young lady. I partucularly liked “making clothes out of duct tape” as one of her hobbies. LOL. Some of those creations are amazing.
What did she do for talent in the pageant.
Or Fox News babes -- Gretchen Carlson and Lauren Green, for two. And Diane Sawyer was Miss Teen America a million years ago. Even Oprah was a pageant winner back in the day.
I forgot to add — SARAH PALIN!
She is home schooled. Where did you go to school, Al Baby? In fact, did you even go to school?
I personally know the Scanlan family. They are a very strong Christian family that walks the walk.
I remember her singing in Church with her sisters when they were little. Lots of talent. It is always a blessing when the Scanlan girls preform.
I am so proud of Teresa! She will be an excellent representative of Miss. America!! Keep her in your Prayers for the up coming year.
My daughter, also home-schooled, is a graduate of Patrick Henry. It is a very challenging liberal arts school, sometimes referred to as the “Christian Harvard,” which has been vilified by the Left (Google it). They have placed students into the top law schools in the country. Only 300 students enrolled.
Here is a picture where she resembles Martha McCallum of Fox News Channel. Martha is one of the Fox blondes that appears will Bill Hemmer in the 8 AM (Central) segment every morning.I read elsewhere that she played "White Water Chopped Sticks" on the piano for her talent. I can't imagine what that would be!
I can hardly believe she won. Was I dreaming? Wow, I hooted and hollered in honor of all my Nebraska ancestors and living relatives. In fact, I had just been talking with my cousin who lives in Lincoln yesterday.
It seems impossible such a together, patriotic young lady could win but she did!! Congratulations, Miss America!!
Of course he did, where he was Class Clown and has made that his trade througout life.
Hey! Not nice....play nice...
You are funny, And boy I have heard a lot of stuff about you. My freepmail box was full today. Have a enjoyable evening

I am amazed that a Christian homeschooled young lady won! I’m glad, though.
Glad she won, though! Congratulations, Nebraska!
Rush Limbaugh and Joy Behar were two of them. Surprised Joy didn’t assault Rush.
