I want her to stop feeling intimated, she really needs to put herself out there and I want her to see me as a personal role model
So this is for her?
Yes, I want to be a good influence for her in that aspect
If you get evicted at the camp how would you feel?
I’m human so I will feel bad but that will not be the end and my friends know that I don’t give up, there are more pageantries I will go for, I will keep striving and I’m not going to stop
If you win how will you feel
I will feel very excited, very elated, and very happy
What will you do first the moment you are announced as the winner
I will first take a sigh of relief, I will take a deep breath and be like “Oh God, I did it” You know that feeling when you are too elated and you need to hug somebody…yeah! I will probably hug the person beside me, maybe the hypeman or MC (Laughs)
Is this where you will stop or will go for more contests after this?
I’m definitely not stopping here.
