Miss America Angela Perez Paraquio. 25:

"The first time i was in a pageant, the biggest feaer i had was the swimsuit competitoin. Its degrading to women. BUt when i found out the contest was for a scholarship, i said, 'i play sports - i'm going to play the game. I'll wear the uniform, I'll do wut i need to do to get that sholarship money because i want to be college educated."
