[> Subject: First of all, and I mean no disrespect at all, if you only want your daughter to compete because you want her to place high or win, then that is ABSOLUTELY the worst reason for her to compete. Yes, the shiny hat and title are nice, but you need to think about all of the experiences she has/would gain. She is learning how to interview with all different types of people. She is learning to network and honing her speaking skills. So, absolutely let her come back and compete as a Miss, but take a moment to think about why.
