"My first dream is to visit China and my second dream is to pursue a master's degree there," she adds, expressing her aspirations to study at a university in China next year.

Osman says that China feels like her second home and she hopes to pursue a master's degree in the country, too. She says she plans to visit a list of cities, including Kunming in Yunnan province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province and Xi'an in Shaanxi province, to explore their unique cultures.

Upon her return to Egypt after the competition, Osman was met with a warm surprise from her family and friends, who celebrated her achievement with a specially prepared cake.
