Sacrificing some of the things that she loves to do has finally paid off for 18-year-old Marama Domitila, who won her second gold medal for Saint Joseph’s Secondary School in the Coca-Cola Suva Zone 2 competition today.
Domitila claimed gold in the Senior Girls’ 1500 metres and 800 metres.
While speaking to fijivillage News, the Year 13 student from Ra shared how it was hard at first when she had to make some sacrifices, but she managed to adapt.
Domitila says the training was not easy as well, but she knew there would be light at the end of every tunnel.
She says she is blessed to win those gold medals for her school and hopes to do the same at this year’s Coca-Cola Games.
