Why should you join the Miss Ohio Scholarship Program?
Simply put: the people.
The women on that stage, the staff behind the scenes, the local directors who pour their hearts into this program, the cheering crowds, my friends, my family, my town, they are the reason. The Miss Ohio organization is filled with people who are driven, accomplished, kind, powerful, selfless, supportive, and absolutely inspiring in every way.
I will never forget the moment I placed in the Top 10, but what meant even more than that was seeing the joy on my sisters' faces. Their reactions, their hugs, their happy tears… that is what Miss Ohio is about. Also, when my bestie girl Bryn. I was absolutely over the moon when I heard you name.. AND right after mine! Performing in the top 10 right next to you could not have been more of a dream come true! That kind of love and support isn’t performative, it’s real. It’s the heart of this organization.
And I want to take a moment to highlight someone incredibly special: Kylie Gottman.
Kylie, you reminded me to keep going when I wanted to quit. You saw something in me that I couldn't see myself, and your belief in me changed everything. You've become such a constant in my life, a friend I will treasure forever. I’m so grateful you were placed in my heart so intentionally, it’s a bond I’ll never take for granted. 💛
To anyone considering joining this sisterhood: do it. Not just for the stage, the scholarships, or the glitz, but for the people. Because they will change your life like they did mine.
