BACKGROUND AND CHALLENGES OVER COME

I grow up under a difficult situation facing cyber bullying at school and streets, because I was born with a unique birthmark on my right leg, the leg was looking different from the other. At streets and school other kids would make fun of me or bulling me, receiving many questions about my leg from older people that makes me more worried. It was not easy, I lost my confidence and happiness, but by the support of my family, teachers and by attending counseling makes my life easy.

I regaining and restoring my confidence by choose modeling, I was just 8 years old. People were enjoying my performance, the energy I had. Their will look at my birthmark and the confidence. That gave a full support, courage to preform frequently. Their got use to me, that’s where the bulling part stopped. I was an inspirational and giving a hope of success in talent to other kids with different disability. I continued regained my confidence, rebuild my life; restoration was a key element to became a better person in live generally.

One is never too late to learn and that when you move forward, you should take others with you. While heavier on the other side of empowering female with the love of finance and modelling.
