At that time, the idea of becoming an internationally renowned public figure was a distant, lofty dream.
“Even as a child, she dreamed of moving.”
“She was quiet and wholesome.”
Bedeck saidTrump’s sister, Ines Knauss, was even shyer than Melania.
“There was little entertainment in those days.
We played outside a lot.
And we listened to the radio, swapping tapes.
Melania was transfixed by the idea of becoming a model and loved sketching designs for clothes.
She took extra art classes outside school and was naturally stylish.”
Mirjana Jelancic told the AP that Trump was kind to her peers and was a star pupil.
Jelancic remembered the future first lady as a well-mannered, studious classmate.
While Trump’s childhood friend admitted being surprised by Melania’s marriage to Donald Trump, it made sense.
