On what she's been up to since winning the international award, Emanuella, who is currently in her first year in junior high school, revealed that it has been the same routine. "I haven't been up to much asides school and making skits with Uncle Mark. Although, I don't get preferential treatment when I am in school, I got a lot of congratulatory messages from my classmates and teachers".
