Shrowe also stated,  ¨It was honestly an extremely surreal feeling. I never really expected to win, but there was that small part of me that really wanted to win this. When they said my name I was absolutely stunned. I saw my parents jump up and cheer and I felt pure joy. The feeling was only intensified when I heard Emme’s name get called out too. It was a wonderful experience.¨
