Do I want to represent my country again? Do I feel like there&#x27;s fight left in me? Of course there is, which is why I never say I am closing my doors on my pageant journey. But I don&#x27;t have a yes or a no because it is coming so soon, schedules will be affected, contracts will be affected, and it&#x27;s more than just the passion of it, but what will be affected in my personal life if I do it,&quot; she remarked.
