Educational background
The name of the school Camille attended is unknown, though she once shared she had hard times when in high school. She said she remembered herself on summer courses, and felt very lonely as she didn’t know anybody there and no one even tried to say ‘Hello’ or introduce themselves. It was a tough lesson for her, but she learnt how to step out of her comfort zone, and be the first one to introduce herself. She encourages everybody suffering from lack of attention from other people to be brave and change their life by making the first move in communication with the people around. Camille also supports the organization called “My Life, My Power”, which stands against bullying.
