This post is one of the hardest ones I’ve ever had to write, as it might be closing out a dream I’ve had the last four years. This program has truly shaped me into who I am today, and I am forever grateful for the lessons, opportunities, and most importantly, the people that MAO has given me.💗
First, to Meredith: The title you hold is truly so valuable, remember that. I know you will do amazing things during your year, and I can’t wait to support you along the way! I love you always. 💗
To my friends and family: Thank you so much for continuing to support me in what I love to do most. Having so many of you there to cheer me on last night meant the absolute world to me, and I am so beyond blessed to have you all in my life. I love you guys!!💗
Last, but certainly not least, to my directors: Thank you so much for believing in me for the past four years, and for pouring your heart and soul into me. It’s safe to say that I would not be the person I am today without you both. From late calls, to long days of prepping for state, to the countless other investments you’ve made in me, I don’t know how I will ever be able to truly give you the thank you you deserve. I love you both so, sooo much.💗
Although I’m quite sad right now, I’m trying to remind myself that God has a plan, and that it’s much greater than mine ever has been or will be. This is just one small chapter in my book, but the thought of saying goodbye to it forever truly hurts. This organization has made me who I am today, and I owe so much of my success to MAO.💗
I’m going to leave it at that for now. Thank you to everything who has made this experience what it is. I am so thankful for each and every one of you.💗

Ruby I know how hard you worked for this title, and I’m so proud of you. This loss hurts, but it doesn’t define you. You are loved, supported, and so much more than any title. I hope you keep mentoring and inspiring young girls, because the impact you’ve made matters. You are amazing, and I love you.
