Day 2 - National Pride

For me, National Pride transcends the land of my birth , it encompasses the values I uphold and the influence I have beyond national boundaries. I am convinced that genuine pride is rooted in service, in demonstrating to the world the resilience, compassion, and inclusivity that characterize the United Kingdom.
​
During my time in London, I had the honor of working alongside Alice and Olivia, in Mayfair, to generate funds for Together for Short Lives, a charity dedicated to assisting children with life-limiting conditions. This experience served as a reminder that the intersection of fashion and philanthropy can yield more than mere aesthetics, it can foster hope. Additionally, I devote time to visiting Battledown School, where I gain as much as I contribute. The children there, each with their distinct challenges and strengths, have allowed me to understand that compassion, patience, and acceptance are the foundational elements of any great nation.


​To me, National Pride involves carrying forward those invaluable lessons such as the subtle strength of kindness and the power of unity onto every platform I occupy. To have the chance in a national competition which may allow me to represent Great Britain on the global stage is not merely an honor; it is a duty to convey to the world that our true identity encompasses not only our traditions and history but also the belief that when we unite, we can effect meaningful change.
