In the midst of the digital era, Mischka and Devon also showcase their uniqueness. Through her personal TikTok account @mischkaaoki, Mischka often shares English learning content that is more fun and entertaining.

From Mischka, we learn that as women, besides outer beauty, what is equally important is to cultivate the 'beauty' within ourselves; developing talents, insights, self-confidence, and knowing exactly what we desire in life.

"We must dare to dream big and not be afraid of failure or easily giving up. We should also not forget the values in our lives. As Indonesian children, we must always have good ethics, be humble, wherever and whenever we are," Mischka said.
