Imlibenla Wati visits her former school
Morung Express News
Sweetheart of Nagaland, Imlibenla Wati, was at her former school this morning to pay respects to the institution that gave her ‘some of the best years’ of her life. She visited Model Higher Secondary School, where she was a student from 2009 till 2014, when she passed out her HSSLC examination. It was in 2012, when she was in her 11th standard that some friends convinced her to enter a local beauty pageant contest where she emerged as the runner up to Miss Mokokchung. She eventually went on to win the title of Miss Nagaland the same year. The rest, like they say, is history.
Much to the delight of everyone present, especially the students, Imlibenla Wati was smartly dressed in her old school uniform outfit when she addressed the gathering. Quite befittingly, she challenged the students to consider it a magnanimous blessing to be able to put on a uniform and attend an educational institution, as there are so many children out there who can’t afford to be in a school and many who aren’t even allowed to. She urged the students to understand that the uniform gives them identity and as such to respect it and value its worth.
She also highlighted her belief that one need not necessarily be a student of the best or the premier institutions to be successful in life but that it is one’s will and determination that eventually leads one to his/her destiny. She encouraged the students to dream big.
She also implored upon the attendees to continue to support her as she go on to represent the country in an international platform. It may be noted that Imlibenla Wati will soon be participating in the Miss Asia Pacific Super Talent to be held in South Korea in November this year. She was scouted by Big Break Entertainment India from various contenders from all over the country to represent India at the mega event. She mentioned her gratitude to the CEO of Big Break Entertainment, Anil Sharma for putting his trust in her and giving her the opportunity.
Headmaster of the school, Yutsung Imchen, acknowledged her visit and expressed hope that she would visit the school in the future too while also wishing her success in her profession. “She was an asset for this school,” he said, and added that she will be always remembered by the school.
