Andrea Fonseka

Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My late friend Louise Rita who lost her 7-year battle against cancer. She inspired me never to give up and made me realize how fortunate I am to wake up to a new morning every day. Most of all, she has taught me the value of time and to cease and make the best out of every opportunity that comes my way.

What is the most interesting or unique thing that has ever happened to you (aside from winning your title) and/or what is the most interesting thing about you?
I am often mistaken as being the eldest among my sisters partially due to the fact that I am the tallest in my family. Besides that, I have the ability to befriend anyone of any age. I like to socialize with elderly people so that I can gain better know.

To become a United Nations Ambassador for the rights of women, children and animals. To accomplish that goal, I am studying law.

Help College, Malaysia. I plan to do my first year in Malaysia and the next two years abroad., Law.

List any interesting or unsual jobs you may have had.
I was once a telemarketer for a hotel membership card company. It involved a lot of courage and persistance calling up complete strangers and persuading them to part with $100 US dollars to sign up.

Describe your childhood home and living conditions. Were you raised with a large family with lots of brothers and sisters?
I am the youngest of four girls, no brothers. There is quite a large age gap between my sisters and I. I have been quite indpendent from a young age. They have influenced me in terms of maturity, commitment and responsibility. I am always commented about as being too mature for my age.
