Although I was born with Down syndrome, my parents always made sure I knew I could shape my own path and become who I wanted to be. They made sure I got a good education and therapy. I dreamt of becoming a model and, after learning how to take care of my appearance, to choose clothes well and to do my own makeup, I fulfilled my dream and model in Mariola Turbiarz's shows. Thanks to my hard work, believing in myself and never giving up, I made my dream happen. I have more confidence and I know that obstacles can't hold me back. If you keep at it and keep learning, you can achieve anything you set your mind to, no matter how tough it seems.
