As I am about to close out this journey in my life, I would just like to mention a few things that have made being the 2023 Junior Miss Arkansas so amazing! This system has allowed me to build such an amazing relationship with this group of girls. We had the best time together at Nationals and I wouldn’t have changed it for the world. I was honored to go to Nationals, and met some of the greatest girls from different states. Girls with the same drive and ambition as me to change the world. And I know those girls are going to do great things! It was such an honor, and I know that the next Junior Miss Arkansas is going to walk that stage with their head high.
I was so blessed beyond measures to be able to spend this year with my title, and it’s something I will always hold onto. To the next queen, take it all in because it’s going to go so unbelievably fast. I feel like just last week I was being crowned. I know you’re going to do amazing things for this organization, as long as you stay true to yourself.
Thank you to all my friends and family for supporting me throughout my journey. I have learned so much throughout my year, and will continue to apply that in different areas of my life.
Thank you to my amazing directors, Chrissie and Sophie, you two alwayssss made sure I was where I needed to be when I needed to be there and I’m so thankful for you both.
This is definitely a bittersweet goodbye, but I know at the end of the day, I did my best to leave a mark on POA. I wish our new queens the best of luck on your endeavors!
Signing off, your 2023 Princess of America - Junior Miss Arkansas, Reese Light.💗💓🎀
