First up is Elena Dragomir from Moldova.
Miss Dragomir, if you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
Elena Dragomir: I personally believe that… well, um, I guess if I could change just one thing, maybe, I would… like, you know, I’d make it so that, um, people everywhere—everywhere from, like, you know, the U.S., um, and the Europe, er, and even places like, ah, um, Africa, and, well, Asia too, yeah, uh… I’d want, um, people to, sort of… care more? Um, I mean, like… just be more kind to each other, because, you know, like… there’s, there’s a lot of, you know, um… I don’t know, misunderstandings, and, uh, if people were just… I guess, kinder? Or… like, maybe, more patient? Or, like, even, uh, just… nicer? Then, um, well… I think we could, uh, you know, solve a lot of, like, those big problems, like, um… oh, er, wars, or, um, like, even, like, hunger? Yeah, so, um… like, if people were more understanding, and, ah, you know, um, just nicer to each other, then, um, it would make, uh, such a big difference.
I think… if, if, you know, we all had a little more, er, empathy, and, um, tried to… understand where others are, um, coming from? Like, maybe, you know, we could, ah… get along better. And, um, people, um, you know, like… wouldn’t feel so alone, uh, or, like, isolated or anything, and, um… then, maybe, we could, um, all, you know, like… come together more? Uh, and, um, not just, like, in, uh, one place, like, you know, one city or country, but, um, you know, all over… everywhere. I mean, because, uh… we’re, um, all, like, people, so, um… if, uh, everyone cared, uh, just a little more, or, um, was just a bit more understanding, then, I guess, yeah… we could, um, start to, you know, like, build a better, er, future for, um, our, like, uh, our children, and, um, for the world, you know?
So, yeah, um, if I could change one thing, I think it’d be, um… just, like, having people care, er, more, about each other, uh, no matter where they come from, so, like, we can, you know, make a better world. Thank you very much.
Emcee: A truly inspiring answer! You’ve got us all thinking. Let’s give a big round of applause for Elena Dragomir for her answer.
Our next contestant is Svetlana Dimitrova from Gagauzia.
Miss Dimitrova, what do you think is the biggest problem facing young people today?”
Svetlana Dimitrova: I personally believe, um, like the biggest problem facing young people today is, uh, probably, well, kinda the whole, um, like, pressure to be, er, successful, uh, and like really, really fast, you know? So, um, what I mean is, like, there’s this thing where, uh, young people—especially like, um, like the U.S. Americans and, er, people from places such as, um, I think maybe, uh, other countries too, like, I mean, um, you know, like Asian countries or, um, uh, South America and, uh, everywhere, um, like they feel this, uh, sorta, um, I guess, need to, like, um, achieve something big, uh, and meaningful, right?
And, um, so it’s like, this kinda leads, er, young people, um, into feeling, like, uh, stressed and, um, pressured because, um, like everywhere you look—well, like on social media and all, um, people are, uh, always posting about, um, like, the great things they’re doing, you know, like “oh, I just got a job” or, um, “oh, I’m traveling to, er, Europe” or, um, “look at, uh, like, my new house,” or even, um, “I just got a new dog,” which, um, is like cute but also, um, kinda puts this, er, pressure on everyone to, like, be doing the same stuff, um, so yeah.
And, um, like, if young people don’t, um, get these, um, accomplishments right away, uh, they can, uh, feel, uh, sorta, like, I guess, um, like they’re not, um, good enough, you know? Like, uh, maybe they’re, uh, just, like, not succeeding, uh, fast enough or, um, that they’re, like, falling behind. So, um, I think, uh, this is, like, a big, um, problem ‘cause it makes young people, um, feel less, uh, confident, um, which is, uh, like really important, I think, um, for their, er, mental health.
Um, so, I think that maybe, um, young people should, um, maybe try to, uh, focus more on, um, you know, like, um, just, uh, small things and, uh, like, the things that, um, make them, uh, happy instead of, uh, trying to, like, you know, um, compare themselves, er, all the time, um, so that, uh, we can, um, you know, er, build a future that’s, um, a little, uh, less, uh, stressful and, um, more, uh, positive. Thank you very much.
Emcee: Well, I think we just heard a future thought leader speaking! Let’s hear it for Svetlana Dimitrova from Gagauzia.
Moving right along, our third contestant is Tatiana Sergeeva from Transnistrian.
Miss Sergeeva, what is your stance on climate change?
Tatiana Sergeeva: I personally believe, um, that climate change is, well, it’s kind of like this… er, big situation that’s, you know, everywhere and, uh, it affects everyone. Like, not just U.S. Americans, but, um, also, sort of… all of us on the planet? And, I mean, it’s sort of important to, like, realize that, well, if we don’t do something… then, uh, bad things will happen to, you know, the Earth and, um, our kids.
So, climate change, um, is, well, kind of like this… like, a, uh, challenge where, you know, people all over, er, like in the, uh, “South Africa” and the Iraq… and, I guess, like, all those, um, European places… everyone is, well, they’re impacted. I think, um, maybe people could, like, come together or, um, unite to… to do, like, more recycling and, um, use less plastic or… you know, help the trees or… things like that. Because, um, if we don’t, I think we’re, uh, kind of in trouble, um, right?
But it’s not, er, just about one country, um, taking action. I think, like, climate change is a thing where everyone, um, around the world, like, has to pitch in? Uh, because it’s everywhere, right? And, um, I think we can, uh, make things better for… for the future, like, for children, um, and also, like, maybe animals, too, you know, because they’re part of, um, the Earth. Like, if we care about our children… and, uh, like, building a good future, then I think, um, maybe we should, uh, do more.
Er, so, I think, uh, climate change needs, like, uh, “all hands on deck.” Like, everywhere. And, um, we can… we can learn from each other, you know? Like, South Africa and, um, Iraq and… other places that, you know, um, have tried, er, things that work. Because, like, if we all try together, then, um, I think we can sort of, um, make it better? For… er, for everyone.
Emcee: Now that’s what I call wisdom! Thank you, Tatiana. Let’s hear it for her!”
Our fourth and final contestant for this evening is Ekaterina Morozova from Slovakia.
Miss Morozova, how can we break down stigmas surrounding topics like sexual orientation and gender identity in society?
Ekaterina Morozova: I personally believe, uh, that, you know, to, uh, really break down, um, those, er, stigmas, we… we kind of have to, um, like, bring people together, you know? Uh, because, I mean, like, when people are… um, educated and, like, really talk to each other, they, uh, they, sort of, like, see each other, you know? And, uh, so, uh, if, if we, like, make it, um, easier for, uh, people from, you know, everywhere, like, uh, South Africa, or, um, Asia… or, er, places, like, um, anywhere, um, to learn about, uh, sexual orientation and, uh, gender identity, then, uh, it kind of makes them, like, see it’s, uh, it’s not, you know, anything… um, strange or, uh, like, wrong.
So, um, maybe, like, through, uh, education, you know, in, like, schools and, er, communities, uh, we could, um, help, like, all people… uh, like, “U.S. Americans” and, um, like, other people, um, to, like, accept, um, each other… and, um, see that, uh, we’re all, you know, kind of the same, um, deep down. Uh, and, and it’s, like, it’s important for, um, people, er, to just, like, see… that people, you know, everywhere, are, um, dealing with, like, different things, but, um, we all, uh, need to just, you know, accept each other, um, as we are.
And, uh, I also think, um, that, like, social media, um, could help, because, um, when people see, you know, like, videos or, um, posts, you know, uh, that show, er, people being, um, themselves, it… well, it makes it, um, easier to, like, understand them, right? Uh, because, like, then they see, um, that people… they’re not, like, er, so different, but, um, kind of, like, just, um, regular people, you know? Uh, so, if, um, we… could, like, make sure, uh, that people are, you know, informed and, um, and, like, exposed, uh, to different, uh, identities and orientations, then, um, yeah, like, I think we’d have, um, like, a more, um, open-minded, uh, society, er, where, um, everyone feels, like, uh, safe and, um, valued.
Thank you very much.
