Model and Bodybuilder
At age 3, my life changed completely when I had an accident with the an old wringer washing machine. I lost my arm from hand to elbow. I also became deaf at age 3 due to sickness. Throughout my childhood, I had so many obstacles and struggles by the bullies, acceptance and discrimination. At age 16, discovered that I have User Syndrome which I am blind on the both sides and bottom. However, it did not stop me but fought out to show my abilities by playing sports and becoming a certificated lifeguard. Throughout my adulthood, faced the obstacles and I continued to turn things around to fight through to succeed. Where that leads me to the bodybuilding journey, the passion to show people of what I am capable and to show that nothing can stop me no matter what the obstacles have thrown on my face
My passion to show of I CAN? and there is no to I CAN'T. I looked at back to my childhood, adulthood where I realized that I surely have overcame so many things, the doubters and that turned out that it really inspired and helped the others to realize they can do it too. My biggest passion in the life to help to reach out to people to show and teach people with the examples of what I have went through the obstacles with my disabilities, my limitless abilities to help the children and the adults to gain the knowledge, acceptance, and to that life is not to the end but to that they can go through, to overcome any kind of situations. Especially with the self esteem, and the confidence with their own skin.
The scars on the bodies reflect the beauty and a message to that they are the survivors. Nowadays, the children and adults are struggling and my heart always wanted to set an example that I can do anything and nothing have stopped me to give them the gain of confidence and positive attitudes that they can overcome anything too. My life changed when I met a little girl back in my high school year. That little girl also had a missing arm and I saw myself in her. It was a big realization that my abilities have shown her and the kids at the school. That made me decided to start my journey to be the messenger to people.
Especially to this moment with my bodybuilding journey, to that I have touched many hearts with my abilities in the gym. Where my heart decided to be where I am here as who to the people to educate and to help the others that they can do, follow their big dreams and do not let things to stop them because of the obstacles. My bodybuilding journey have added a big change in my life because almost 3 years ago that I had a major back surgery where I was warned that I wouldn't be the same anymore. I have overcame the impossibilities and to prove them wrong that I won't be the same anymore? into I am stronger than before€?. That adds up to my passion to show people to embrace the flawless beauty of the scars on their bodies and to show people that they Can DO anything no matter what if the obstacles have thrown on their faces. Fight the struggles, get through the obstacles with the positive attitudes, strength, courageous, and determination to success their dreams in the life.
