Miss Ukraine

Oleksandra Nikolayenko

Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My principles in life were influenced by my granfather, who I deeply respected and loved and with whom I spent most of my time in my childhood and youth. He was a highly spiritual person, a man of honor and decency. His death was a grave loss for me.

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?
An interesting and memorable incident happened to me on Ceylon Island in Sri Lanka on Friday, the 13th in Cottage Number 13 of a five-star hotel complex. First, a huge (live) rat was found in my bathroom. After the hotel service took the rat away, a black cockroach of immense size fell down onto my bed. When I ran out into the street, crying for help, a swarm of wild bees flew into my room, attracted by the lamp light. The hotel workers had a difficult time coping with them. Then, one of the hotel workers decided to right the painting on the wall, from under which small lizards - tritons - scampered to different sides. And, to complete the story, on the morning of Friday, the 13th a large varan was waiting for me under the door. As a result, I was moved to a different room.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
As a participant and winner of many pageants, I have a cherished dream of completing my performances at pageants with a worthy and brigh performance at the most important world pageant, Miss Universe. All my modeling competitions, constant training, sports, taking part in fashion shows, and refreshing my educational levels were required preparation for this crucial competition. I would like to associate my future profession with television and cinema. I work as a hostess on the main TV channel of Ukraine - "Inter." I have the experience of participation in photo shoots, a TV serial and four films. I am a permanent student of the Art of Speech School; I go in for sports; and I am engaged in choreography.

Are you currently a student? If yes, where? What is your area of study?
Odessa National Academy of Food Technologies, Economy.

List any interesting or unsual jobs you may have had.
During the time of the Soviet Union, I passed my summers practicing in the collective farm, and I was assigned to the bee garden. I was trained to treat beehives correctly and obtain bee milk and honey. It was interesting, educational, unusual, and memor.

Describe your childhood home and living conditions. Were you raised with a large family with lots of brothers and sisters?
My family consists of my father - an officer, mother - an economist, elder sister - a student. In my childhood, my sister and I spent practically all our time together. Quite often we visited our grandmothers and grandfathers. My mother has two sisters. They have their own families and children. Our grandparents were always happy to host all their grandchildren.

What one word describes you best?
Life.
