The majority of the contestants showcased their skills through musical acts, dancing, or singing on the second night of the Miss America preliminary in Atlantic City.

Kelley Johnson, Miss Colorado, made a lasting impression with her moving statement about taking care of an elderly Alzheimer’s patient. She captivated the audience with her moving story while dressed in nursing scrubs.

Kelley earned valedictorian when she received her nursing degree from Grand View University in 2015.

She is already employed as a registered nurse, and she has already gained the affection of many people, regardless of the outcome of the competition.
