Project Statement:
- Why me?” She cried. It was the crying that dragged me out of my deep slumber. Wednesday night at Camp was “Tell Your Story”. I remember my first time at camp listening as all my leaders shared their life stories. It was my third year at camp and my first time as a Senior Counsellor. I was born to make it and I had to make it. I wasn’t always this positive. At age 14 I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). As a child, my grades were always excellent, and my performance in school was outstanding. Everyone around me thought I had it all, but deep inside I was crumbling with each passing moment with constant self-doubt, low self-esteem, insecurity, and worse of all, my fear of failure. I often think that the pride built from representing my school and the faith I had in God were the only things that kept me going. At age 15, I finished high school. I knew what it was to be both spoiled and poor at the same time. For the first four years of my life, I had everything, but then my parents separated. Back then, I hated them for it, so I chose to seal away emotion. A decision that affected me deeply as I grew older.
Personal Motivation:
- At camp on that fateful Wednesday night, I realized the turn my life had taken was a lot easier than most of my Glow sisters. I promised myself that night to stop feeling sorry for myself because I was enough. As Miss World Guyana, ‘I’m Enough’ will focus on helping young people realize that they have all it takes to be someone in this world, empowering them to stand strong and be resilient.

Why I Should Be the Next Miss World Guyana
