DEAR FAMILY, FRIENDS, NATIONAL DIRECTORS, Miss Earth Slovenija TEAM & FANS!
Thank you so much for believing in me, encouraging me & being there for me in every situation. With YOUR love & support I was able to have the time of my life at Miss Earth 2019! Not even in my wildest dreams I could imagine this beautiful experience - which I will cherish FOREVER in my HEART! I have met so many inspiring girls, people & had the best team managers ever Tina Beley Venus Schuck Baluyot Pilanga Mitsume Aguilar. And I must say we all worked hard to share our advocacy & love.
Also despite having only 4 hours of sleep per day I put all of my heart in every activity. A big thank you goes to the Philippines for taking care of us like queens, making sure we were all well & happy. All of the people in the Philippines have such a warm & welcoming heart - THANK YOU FOR THAT! My heart & soul has never been this full of love in my life. I can truly feel the gratitude in my heart & will strive to do my very best not only in my year being Miss Earth Slovenia - but also in life. Life is too short to not do what you love, life is too short to worry about what other people thinks of you.... at the end of the day only YOU can make yourself happy & proud. Only YOU can work & get your dreams. And no matter what ALWAYS stay TRUE TO YOURSELF & never change for anything! In this month I truly saw how beautiful life is, how you do not need all of the glitz & the glam to be happy.
The most important thing is that you surround yourself with loving & supportive people, work hard for what you want and to stay positive. I got so much love from ALL OF MY MISS EARTH SISTERS! Thank you for all of the funny, crazy moments! A special thank you goes to my roomie for always making me laugh, even when I was so tired. Now I have met friends for life, THANK YOU! I also wouldn’t be here without my team who worked so hard to prepare me in just 2 WEEKS! Now that I am thinking about it, I truly do not know how we done it - it was a miracle!
