Ko gae ke kae and how do you feel about being crowned Teen Queen?

I’m a young self-driven teenage girl and I’m from Wonderkop. Being crowned as a Queen is an achievement for me because I’ve always wanted to experience how it feels like to be a Queen, mostly an Ambassador of Taylor Events & Miss Universe Northwest.

Take us through all the pageants you entered and the highlights and generally about how it has been

This was my first pageant.

Take us through the lessons that you have learned and the challenges you encountered and how you overcame those challenges.

The lessons that I’ve learnt along the journey is to never doubt myself nor want to give up, because there were times when I felt like giving up, there were times when I felt the pressure, but through it all I didn’t give up, and I’ve learnt that It takes tears and disappointments to reach your goals because this hasn’t been an easy journey for me.

Being disappointed and not giving up when I felt the most pressure is the only challenge that stand out, because If I decided to give up along the way I wouldn’t be where I am today. I cherish all the disappointments because they have groomed me into the person that I am now and I overcame this challenge by kneeling down and asking God for guidance . I believe that I can overcome sumthing
