If people heard that someone like me, who grew up in the countryside, ended up competing on a survival show, appearing on TV, and even winning, my parents and everyone back home would probably say it’s something worth celebrating. I’m sincerely grateful to everyone who supported me.

To my partner and wife, who stayed up with me through this entire journey, thank you for all your hard work. I love you.
