Saleisha, (Americas Next Top Model): I went into the competition being myself, I really wanted it so I always told them that. I also worked hard and did the best I could.
HSL, (RealityWanted.com): Who do you think was your biggest competition?
Saleisha, (Americas Next Top Model): I said at week number one that Chantal was my biggest competition and that we would be the last two standing. She had that fire for it.
HSL, (RealityWanted.com): What did you think when you saw the TV screen with your picture on it?
Saleisha, (Americas Next Top Model): I freaked out when I saw the screen. I was so nervous and when she said my name I was so happy. I went into the competition being confident and I knew I needed to stay focused in order to win. Obviously this is a great door opener, I have met with Covergirl, Seventeen and Elite Models.
HSL: What is the best advice you learned while being on the show?
