Jeg er veldig takknemlig for å få være videre med i konkurransen! Fra starten av har det vært så mange flotte og gode jenter med, og jeg ønsker alle sammen masse lykke til. Både de som er med videre og de som fortsetter med andre ting nå. 

Det har vært en veldig fin start på 2018! Nå reiser jeg snart til Oslo også, og er i tillegg veldig klar til å øve og forbrede meg enda mer på det som kommer. Håper alle har det bra! 

Hei kjære lesere!

I går kveld rundt kl. 22:00 fikk vi en liste over semifinalistene... jeg ventet spent og nervøs til jeg leste innlegget, og der blant 11 semifinalister sto mitt navn!! Det er helt sykt, og jeg trodde ikke at jeg ville komme så langt. Jeg takker alle sammen for støtten jeg har fått. Jeg er så utrolig takknemlig for vennskapene jeg har fått med disse fantastiske deltakerne og gleder meg til å møte dem igjen.

Jeg har nå fått mere motivasjon og vil prøve å gjøre mitt beste for å lykkes.

Jeg vil virkelig komme meg på treningsstudioet så jeg kan prestere bedre og bli mer fornøyd med min egen kropp i bikini. Å finne riktig treningsmetode er ikke enkelt heller. Det kan ta opptil 3 uker før jeg finner det som passer for meg. Jeg skal trene min egen balanse og begynne å trene opp anklene mine. Etter en skade jeg fikk i 2015, er den ene foten min sterkere enn den andre og av og til kan man legge merke til at jeg går skjevt. Skal ikke endre mye på kostholdet mitt men jeg skal prøve å spise sunnere og få i meg mer proteiner og vitaminer.

Her er noen bilder som ble tatt av meg i bikini fra shooten i forrgie uke :

The most giving night in a long time.

I had planned a treasure hunt (as I spoke about in the previous post). So I was supposed to make a treasure hunt for 4 people all with different backgrounds and gifts, some with downs syndrome, no spoken language, autism, different syndromes etc.  This made us do the treasure hunt in a way that if fitted all of us.

It started very exciting. A pirate had lost his diamonds on the house where we were, so if we could help him find it we would get a prize. We had to get through 10 posts with different tasks to find the prize. All the post had different types of elements where we needed to use the sensory systems, we had to find things, look for things, find things with different types of colors or smell, We had to do hid and seek, and solve some rhymes. We had to use our bodies to create geometrical symbols, we had to listen to music. With all different types of tasks, and by helping each other, we were able to get through to all posts.

It was amazing to see how people with different needs, could work so great together. But most of all, how happy and fun we had by doing this. By doing something together.

After treasure hunt, we celebrated fruit salad and ice cream. It was such a good evening.

There is no pictures from this because of privacy rights and laws by the institution.

When I was back in Norway I had planned a lot that I would wanted to do since I only was home for a short period of time. It is important to me to contribute to the local society and give something back to things I care for. So I made a charity project at my old job. I am going to tell you about it now.

I have always told myself that, since I am lucky been born in Norway, with a body that functions completely and with all resources possible. I would use my position to help others and do what I could to give others as much as I could.

I few summers ago I started working on a home for kids and people with extra needs. It could be different chronical diseases such as ellipsis or Ceberal Parese, t could be autism or downs syndrome, or it could be a combination of more.  When I started to work here I had no experience in this field before. But what I did know was that I was good with people and care to work.

You might think people are different because they can not do exactly what most people can. Some see it as a handicap, some see it as a gift.  I will say it is a gift.  Because after working with and be with these amazing people for years, I have learned so much, much more than people most teach me. They are so happy for the small things, maybe just to be able to walk one day, to play one day, to have yoghurt for breakfast, if its warm they are able to go outside for the day. They appreciate the small things in life we often take for granted. This gives me so much happiness to see them happy for something so little.

However, they do have some disabilities that require some sort of treatment and this limits some of the things the could do. And in a society where we are so busy, I feel we sometimes forget about those who need the extra treatment. Most of the time is not because we do not care or not want but also because it can be hard to figure out what to do. Also, it could be hard to adjust certain activities to fit one persons need that are so different from others. However, at this home, more people come together so we can be different but same at the same place. Quite amazing, a little complicated, but absolutely possible.

I have learned so much about myself and people, working at this place. And I really wanted to do something back for them. First off, because they do not have so much activities offered, and second it will make them happy, and third: if they are happy, I am happy. It takes so little to do something extra.

Read about my charity TREASUREHUNT in the next blog post.

I was so happy when I could check my phone at work this evening.  I made it to the semi final! I was very nervous the whole day. I had no idea if I made it through. What if you made any mistakes or even failed? My hopes were of course there, but you will never know. I think that is what is good about me, I do not think I make it, until I know I do however that make me work extra hard to make sure I do what I can to make it through.  I feel so happy and blessed that I am one out of eleven girls that are competing to be the next Miss Norway. Things are really going well these days, Both with projects, work, moving and life. So I am so happy. I feel like this year has so much good to bring and I am excited for the next months a head!

Det er en tøff konkurranse, og det er så utrolig mange dyktige skjønnhetsutøvere, men det er dessverre slik at ikke alle går videre. Jeg har jobbet beinhardt ett halvt år nå, og miss norway har vært en så viktig prioritering for meg, heldigvis har dette lønnet seg for meg fordi jeg er en semifinalist i Miss Norway 2018. 

Ord kan ikke beskrive hva jeg tenker eller føler i dette sekundet. Har vært super spent hele uken på hvordan det kom til å bli når semifinaleuttaket ble publisert. Jeg har vært i kommunikasjon med mine meddeltakere og det har hjulpet masse på nervene. Samholdet er utrolig sterkt i gruppen, og jeg synes positiviteten og samholdet er noe jeg virkelig ikke kunne vært foruten på dager som idag (og ellers såklart) Jeg er utrolig takknemlig for at jeg har fått en plass med de andre fantastiske jentene videre. Jeg gleder meg uendelig masse til å fortelle dere mer om hva som skjer videre.

Tusen takk til alle som har støttet meg så langt det har betydd, og betyr enda mye for meg!
