“My name is Salma, i’m 16 years old, I’m currently in year 11 and i live in Bogor, Indonesia.”

“I haven’t participated in anything related to modelling before this. So I’m really pushing myself out of my comfort zone. i’m an introvert, I’m visibly awkward, I get insecure pretty easily and I have zero experience before this. But aside from all of that, I’m still willing to try and participate because I know that whatever happens, this program will teach me so many things and I’m so grateful that I got the chance to do this. I’m participating in this program to help me conquer all of my hardships and insecurities, and also I want to help encourage people like me to do the same. not do exactly what i do but i want to inspire them so that they can be more confident and comfortable being themselves. I know what it’s like to be insecure and if I can beat all those problems I know that other people can do it too. no matter how much experience you got, if you work hard you will be able to do anything.”

“I’m very passionate about dancing, it has been my hobby for 9 years. I feel like I can be myself when I’m dancing, and I can feel my problems going away when I’m dancing. dancing has been my therapy for years and I hope modelling can do the same thing for me.”
