Olive, 16, Grabs Miss Teen Title
Olive Vatunilagi on Thursday night was crowned 2018 Vodafone Fiji Hibiscus Festival Miss Teen.
The 16-year-old was emotional when she was announced the Vodafone Hibiscus Miss Teen winner at the Valelevu Ground in Nasinu.
Olive is originally from Nausori Village in Tailevu with maternal links to Ogea in Lau and is a Year 11 student at Suva Sangam College.
She said she was caught by surprise because she did not expect the Miss Teen win, but she had only hoped to do her best.
“The Miss Teen came to me as a surprise because I did not expect it, but I hoped for the best to win,” Olive said.
“I feel excited because I start with the new experiences in life. It feels different, but good.
“It was a great experience taking part in this year’s Hibiscus Festival.
“I feel proud of my achievement and also my fellow teen sisters who have performed great as well.
“I dedicate the Miss Teen to my families and relatives, my Suva Sangam College friends, sponsors and co-ordinators for being so supportive and encouraging me to give my best,” Olive said.
