Sometimes, your highest highs can come at the same time as your lowest lows. This week, I'm opening up about the highs and lows of my year as Miss USA. Often times our life is filled with moments that can feel so bittersweet. My year as Miss USA is an example of just that, so many great experiences along with so many moments of hardship. It was a year I don’t regret because I believe I am stronger now and I hope there are lessons people can take away from my experience.
