My name is Xiluva Helani.I am a 14 year old student at Alma Mater International School.I live in South Africa,in a city called Johannesburg,also known as the ‘City of Gold’.

My passion for makeup and fashion has inspired me to have my own fashion brand and also own a saloon in the future.I would also love to become an accountant,and by doing this it will help me manage my business.

During my free time,I enjoy going to my ballet classes and going to my sewing lessons.Other than that,I really enjoy playing netball and spending a lot of time with family and friends.

I began pageantry at the age of 9.Having won quite a number of titles,I have learned how to work very hard and stay determined.During these past years,not only have I had a wonderful experience,but I have also learned so much from the beautiful,young girls I competed against.

I believe that the only way to succeed tomorrow is by doing the work today.
