I\u2019ve recently won the title of &#8220;Sunsilk Mega Miss Northeast 2026&#8243;\u2014a dream I\u2019ve had for years has now come true. So, guys, &#8220;dreams do come true,&#8221; but most importantly, &#8220;all in God\u2019s timing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My journey to win the crown of Sunsilk Mega Miss Northeast was three years of hard work. I started pageantry in 2021, and ever since, it\u2019s been great. At first, after the 12th-grade examination, I thought I wanted to become a doctor, listening to societal norms, as a student who gets good scores should go for the doctor profession, and I tried NEET, but I didn\u2019t pass. Now when I look back, I realise I never was interested, and I was lost and didn\u2019t know what to do next as my whole focus was to become a doctor. Then I decided to do my graduation with mathematics, as that was what I could understand and love the most among all subjects. During this period, I also found &#8220;pageantry&#8221;\u2014a whole new world for me.<br>Forward to Miss Northeast 2023, where I reached the top 5. Then a tiny bit of courage in me said, &#8216;Go again and don\u2019t give up.&#8217; So this time I went for a much bigger pageant, &#8216;Sunsilk Mega Miss Northeast 2025,&#8217; and I ended up in the top 5 again. Yes, I cried; I was disappointed, but something in me never let me give up because I knew I had a bigger purpose to serve, and that was why I participated in Sunsilk Mega Miss Northeast 2026 and, this time came back with the crown on my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This journey taught me 3 important lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Faith\u2014When you try to do things on your own, you can only reach a certain point, but when you do it with God, you reach the biggest, the greatest milestones you could ever imagine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never Give Up\u2014Had I wanted, I would have given up after the first time, but my &#8216;never give up&#8217; attitude let me win the crown not just for me but for all those people who believed in me.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purpose\u2014Whatever you do in life, always have a purpose, an intention behind everything you do, because that\u2019s the biggest drive and motivation for you to keep going even when things feel uncertain, and for me, it was to stand up for all those women who had been limited in their dreams due to age, height or other restrictions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have a good intention and work at it with a pure heart, then God will bless you with everything that you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNever give up; keep believing in yourself and become the reason someone believes that their dreams are possible\u201d is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.<br>So when you look at me and read this, I want you to look at me and not say, \u201cWow! She won,\u201d but rather I want you to say, \u201cIf she can, I can too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankyou<br>God bless us all<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stella Rica<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone,I am Stella Rica Khongsni, a student of Assam Don Bosco University, currently pursuing my M.Sc. in mathematics.
