Even though things did not go the way we wanted last night, I am still so incredibly proud of this campaign. We ran a campaign against all odds! Yet, we still made it to runoffs with the highest amount of votes, brought together all different types of people that would probabaly never know each other, and built the campaign up by ourselves!!! This was truly something to be so proud of. Each day at the sign, I watched people of all different types and backgrounds come together to support my campaign. I met new students, laughed a lot, and may have embarrassed myself a couple times too (berries and cream). But at the same time, I wouldn’t trade a second if it. I want to especially thank Jordan Majersky and Griffin Sanders for being by my side every step of this process. Y’all supported me, encouraged me, and loved on me whenever I needed it. I want to also thank my family, who thought I was crazy when I first mentioned I wanted to do this, but stepped up and said anything you need we will do. To have those type of people that will drop everything to lift you up and aid you is indescribable. I would also like to shoutout some more amazing people who really dropped everything to help me: Yaya Sala, Baylee Cain, Selane/ Raven Ruggerio, Anderson Dewitt, Kayci Kimmons, Prince Patel, Brandon Kriplean, Ian McCarty, and Sepp Cecil. They listen to me stress, cry, and be excited each day of this process. I could not have done this without them either.
To Ole Miss, I really feel like I have sold my soul to you. The experiences, friendships, and opportunities that you have given me really have helped me to become a better individual. I have been taught lessons, forced to grow, and introduced to the most amazing humans. I give my heart to this place, helping others to have those same experiences of joy, family, and friendship. And although I couldn’t represent this university as Homecoming Queen, I know that I gave it my all and there was nothing more I could do. It just wasn’t in Gods plan for me this time. But boy… I’m still so proud to be a Rebel. 💙
