"I know, for sure, that it is always easier said than done but what is worth doing to have a meaningful and purposeful life is inevitably challenging. This is waaay out of my comfort zone. I have discovered many things about myself and one of which is my strength. I’ve always believed that there was something bigger and greater for me. After some closed doors, I’ve been contemplating on what to do next. I think we are all seeking the same thing -- our life’s purpose," wrote Rushton, who retired from pageantry in June 2021.

"This is by far the highest and most meaningful achievement I received in my life. Honestly, I just wanted to work with different organizations where I can help and serve but who would have thought that I will be a full-fledged Philippine Navy Reservist? Thank you, Lord, for giving us all the strength to keep going and continue what we have started. Thank you for surrounding us with the right people to guide, help, and teach us," she added.
