ATLANTA ROSE AND HER EXPERIENCE AT MISS EUROPE CONTINENTAL
‘’Hello, I am Atlanta Rose Hazell-Smith, proudly representing my beloved Spain at the prestigious Miss Europe Continental 2023 Edition.
By day, I step into the ring as a professional fighter of K1, KickBoxing and Muay thai, as I offer private classes , while my evenings are dedicated to my role as a social media manager at a thriving company. During those precious moments when I'm not immersed in my career, you'll find me surrounded by cherished family and friends.
My qualities that I’m most proud of are my generosity and thoughtfulness. As for my imperfections, well, let's just say I'm a work in progress.
The guiding lights in my life have undeniably been my remarkable parents. My mother, a paragon of kindness and diligence, instilled in me the values of hard work and compassion. My father, a pillar of strength, taught me the invaluable lesson of resilience, emphasizing the importance of never giving up.
These influences have shaped me into the person I am today, and I'm thrilled to carry their lessons and the spirit of Spain onto the Miss Europe Continental stage.
A moment that has marked me in my life unfolded during my journey from junior school through to high school where I was badly bullied. I looked rather different to all my peers due to my fair complexion and blonde hair, attributed to my English heritage. My father thought it was best for me to know how to defend myself if anything were to happen; by aged 6, my father taught me how to box, and by age 14 - 16 he took me to a martial arts gymnasium where I learnt K1- Kickboxing and Muay thai. Here, I found a true passion, and by age 17, I was in Thailand fighting Muay thai at a professional level as my first ever fight! I continued fighting, and by 19 I was teaching in a gymnasium where I had over 200 classes a month teaching kids and adults from all different age groups from 5 to 65. Teaching made me grow as a person and a fighter. I enjoyed watching people’s progress, their growth, and watching as my passions became their passions.
For me, the essence of happiness resides within the warmth and bonds of family.
As for a phrase that I will never forget, it would be the timeless wisdom: " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I firmly believe in the power of kindness and the importance of thoughtful consideration before our actions, as it serves as a shield against causing unnecessary hurt to those around us.
I am genuinely thrilled to be a part of this extraordinary edition of Miss Europe Continental. I believe that this journey will foster tremendous personal growth, allowing me to connect with individuals who share my passions. Together, we'll embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, surrounded by an array of beautiful people who will be my companions throughout this remarkable experience.
Fashion, to me, is the ultimate form of self-expression, a creative realm where one can freely experiment with diverse styles, colours, and materials. I would love to have the opportunity to be a part of the fashion industry since modelling has always been a passion of mine.
In the coming decade, I envision myself as a thriving entrepreneur, armed with a wealth of experience gained not only in the world of business but also in the realms of life and culture.
If I could make one wish , a world free from ill-intentions and abuse, either towards animals or humans.’’
