MY DAILY BELIEFS ARE: 

I live by a few core beliefs that guide how I approach life and treat others. I believe everything happens for a reason, even when we cannot immediately see the purpose, and this helps me stay resilient during challenges. I also follow the Golden Rule by treating others with kindness and respect. Most importantly, I believe that giving your best effort in everything you do helps build character, confidence, and growth. 

 

THE MOVIE/BOOK THAT HAS MOST INFLUENCED MY LIFE: 

The movie Life of a King has influenced my life because it shows the power of discipline, second chances, and believing in your potential. Watching Eugene Brown mentor young men through chess reminded me that leadership is not about judging someone’s past but helping them see a better future. The film taught me that our struggles do not define us. Instead, they can shape us into stronger people and even become the foundation for growth and healing. 

 

WHO WOULD I LIKE TO MEET AND WHY: 

I would like to meet Olivia Yacé because her presence truly captivates me. She is currently Miss Universe Côte d’Ivoire. She carries herself with remarkable confidence, grace, and regal presence- qualities that set her apart and make her stand out as a modern queen. There is authenticity and dignity in her every gesture, inspiring others to embrace their own strengths and walk with pride.  Although her platform is remarkable, what I admire most is her grace, unwavering confidence, and the natural respect she earns simply through her authentic presence. Meeting her would be an incredible opportunity to learn how to embody that same confidence and motivation to leave a positive mark on those around me. 

 

I AM MOTIVATED BY: 

My motivation stems from a strong desire to succeed and to continually grow into the best version of myself. When I encounter challenges, I do not view them as barriers that stop progress; instead, I see them as hurdles to overcome. Each obstacle encourages me to work harder, maintain my determination, and persistently move forward toward my goals. This mindset fuels my ambition and helps me stay focused, even during difficult times. By embracing challenges as opportunities for growth, I am able to push myself beyond my limits and achieve more than I ever thought possible. 

 

WHAT I WOULD LIKE THE JUDGES TO KNOW ABOUT ME IS: 

What I would like the judges to know about me is that I am someone who leads with both determination and compassion. I naturally step into leadership roles, but I believe true leadership is about uplifting others and creating spaces where people feel supported and valued. Whether in school, community activities, or friendships, I strive to be someone others can rely on for encouragement, guidance, and positivity. 

 

MY COMMUNITY SERVICE/ACHIEVEMENTS ARE: 

I regularly volunteer at The Creative Space dance studio, assist instructors, and help with daily tasks. Each year, I support young performers at the annual dance recital, ensuring they are confident before taking the stage. At school, I help teachers organize materials and mark assignments. Through these commitments to my community, I have consistently maintained the principal’s honor roll status as a reflection of my dedication to both service and academics.  

 

 DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN THREE WORDS: 

Tenacious: I don’t let go of my goals easily. When challenges appear, I don’t back down; instead, I push myself to keep moving forward. 

Industrious: I am hardworking and always strive to stay productive, putting in the effort needed to achieve my goals. 

Dedicated: I am committed to my growth and truly believe in my ability to succeed.
