How much time did the girls spend practicing in the mirror?
Oh, I was in the mirror 24/7, let me tell you, the mirror and I were BFFs for life because they kept on telling me that "Aminat, you think that you're dong this but you're really not." I'd be the last one to go to sleep because I'd be working on my expression and how my face worked. I can only speak for myself and I know that I was in the mirror and I was always practicing.

What was the hardest part of the competition for you overall?
Psyching myself out. It's very mental. You think you're doing good and then you're told you're doing bad. So do you break down? Or do you keep continuing to do your best when they're telling you that your best is just OK. So the hardest part was always feeling like you need to push harder and do better. Keeping a positive mindset was pretty difficult sometimes.
