What is the best thing that has ever happened to you?

What is your favorite part about being a woman?
“My favorite part about being a woman is how we see the world and create. It’s the capacity we have to love and care for other people, we are so strong and independent. We pick ourselves up and keep on going.
Woman are not easily broken, we bend but we do not break. “
Who is your favorite role model?
“A perfect role model for me is like a light that inspires and guides in the dark -and I truly believe that’s my mother.
My mom has worked very hard to give my siblings and I what we have today, most importantly, a life full of love and support. There has never been a time my mom ever gave up on my dreams, she pushes me to never give up.
One thing I learned from her is life will always be complicated, but learn to be happy right now and know life always gets better. She admires the beauty of life and motivates me to be a better person everyday and that’s a role model to me.”
What is your dream in life?
“My biggest dream in my personal life is to be able to take care of my family financially and physically, I owe my parents the world.
In my life, I aspire to make a impact in the world, I want to spread positivity and [make an] impact that can help people in a way or another – I want to love and always live positive, to always be happy.”
When you’re feeling down, what do you like to do to bring yourself back into good spirits?
“When I am feeling down I surround myself with the people I love – which is my family, and [I] do activities to keep my mind off. I fill myself with a lot of hope… I’ve learned that God doesn’t put us in situations we can’t handle.”
What makes your soul light up?
“My greatest passion is helping others and modeling, I’ve always been someone who looks after others and want to help people.
Self improvement is something that I have a passion for. I’m always looking to challenge myself and learn new things. This is the reason modeling is my passion, I’ve learned leaderships and teamwork skills as well as confidence and communication.”

If you had the chance to talk to your younger self, what would you tell them?
“If i had the chance to talk to my younger self I [would] tell her to not be afraid… to show your true self and try new things.
When I was younger I was so shy, I’d be afraid to try new stuff or be myself because the kids at my school would judge everyone about every little thing. I’ve learned that as long as you’re happy doing what you love, people’s opinions shouldn’t matter.
Always do what you love and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.”

What is something you’re really proud of accomplishing?
“Something I’m really proud of accomplishing is getting my very first job at the age of 16, and getting out of my comfort zone and living my dream which is modeling. I’ve learned responsibility and got to work with many young girls.”
What do you want to be remembered as?
“I want to be remembered as someone who was hardworking, caring and made others feel good enough to be themselves.”
