How about the fact that she has drive and perseverance? What about never letting go of your dreams? That is what I'm trying to teach my students! That you can succeed with your dreams no matter how big or small they are.
And there is a reprecussion for what she did, she has to enter rehab. It's not like she got a slap on the wrist and said don't drink again. (Not that I've had to enter rehab, but I'm sure some of them aren't all butterflies and dandelions, she could possibly be sent to a "stricter" one because of who she is, and that the public will find out what rehab she has entered).
Maybe now the Miss Universe organization will realize "hmm maybe we shouldn't put underage women who have never lived in a huge city in their entire lives in a rent free, luxury apartment with no supervision for a whole year"

Yes, but she signed a contract prohibiting the sort of activities that she did. She knew what the punishment was, and she knows that she has a lot of eyes on her, so it's not like she wouldn't get caught. Bad judgment? Perhaps, but it's not like it wasn't spelled out for her loud and clear to begin with.
I thought that the Miss-whatevers were all pretty well supervised, particularly Miss Teen. They have people who go with them pretty much everywhere.
I don't know that I agree with using any of this Miss-Whatevers as role models for children. Particularly Miss Whatevers who earned their crown solely by their looks, in pageants where there's no talent competition and the interview only counts for a very short portion.
