Describe your single-most favorite moment from your Distinguished Young Women experience.
Well, absolutely meeting all of the girls for the first time. I came to the competition a little late due to my graduation, so I was nervous about meeting the girls, who had already had three days to bond. So, much to my surprise, when I introduced myself at the Kiwanis Luncheon my first day, I was met with applause and cheers! It was such a great welcome from my new sisters. Another great moment was the sheer surprise and gratitude I felt when it was announced that I had received the Wintzell’s “My Town” award!
