climbing with the friends. come when i live on the biggest challenge is my left foot, because obviously when i planted, i don't know exactly where it is. i don't know if it has some grid or could slip. it's kind of a metaphor, right? but you can climb, you're not sure. but you have to trust the little boy. then you have a subordinate the austin. i leave my left foot dangling in the air as a counter wait. because if i don't have a very secure hold, i'm falling down in the end, which means you have to trust a little that you can do it. and the deliberating factor is your head, because there are many moments where i am limited. when i say come on, let's do it, we what we gotta do to put in for like, for example here, i don't have a left that holds, but i'll just go for it in quite a bit. if i follow is that a role and i must land on my right leg. just like when i get off the horse, you have any impact on that leg is terrible because i have no left joint and it's very unstable. i'm very little is left of the leg regardless. i have a piece of to be alive. yeah. but that's what it is. fractured the 3 times and it's not suitable for impact. the equestrian spots are expensive to cover equipment

costs. florida works as a model and photo shoots for sponsors. at the same time, she is a role model for inclusion and diversity. if it wasn't for these collaborations, i couldn't do it. i'm doing that because i can't afford it. practically all the material i have is sponsored and i tried to help them in my own way, was by letting them use my image and doing photo sessions and those who sent in the photo. and she's very brave to. dimly i realize that photography helps me a lot, but it will do you like it? because initially i didn't like it, it scared me and i was very ashamed for my body. but it made me see that there are many types of beauty and i feel pretty in the photos. the photos are always well received and there are many people who write to me. so they tell me they'd like to do it to whatever embarrass. let me do some more, they tell me it's helping us to see it. it's better to be visible rather than stay hidden at home with this kind of blue cross. i committed a single, i have a place in the society and a mission, and i think it's
8:21 am
a very nice purpose to be able to help others. and i love it. i see her without insecurities of other natural beauty or desire to live. and i like being able to help her with it. i especially like that strength because she's the mother who's busy all day. still asking yourself what more she can do her job, the horse i just turned on because that's always the problem when you want to do everything for her and you always want to do everything. sometimes she can't do it and sometimes she's strong. and other times she collapses and says, i can't do it life and it's rare, but it does happen. okay. yeah, i mean i'm relying when it's to my, there are those moments because we're all human solely but they are rare. but she loves to. yeah. and then with the sometimes the pressure was too correct. florida has a marketing job as a model, a single mother and the top power athletes perceiving qualification to the power olympics and a sports that requires a great deal of commitment about his comments says flora loves so challenge

8:23 am
unknown at a certain age and i realize people were looking at me because it was different that in that and also i disguise myself down to the young lady. i gave you the name and we did little plays with the disguise, done, and told funny stories that i talked about how people reacted in the same thing. it was a way of getting over that little trauma, but because there was a moment where he felt the tackle and he took it badly that people were looking at me that i said at the moment we might say really, that video was 1st made for him. and i've never published it or shown it to anyone as it gets here. we're going to expose ourselves completely and i feel completely naked. it might be more scary for me to show my stuff then to show my naked body. okay. and the, and the border patrol and the 2nd. so here it is. all of us left just to share it. florida says the video even though it scares a competitive share and the last thing away, the pain. i've recorded this video a few years ago when know i started to realize that i was a different mazda service, that i knew that he saw that through the way other people looked at me. but i can't

8:25 am
spectacular. and one time because he's here right, and she's much better than a writer with 2 legs and arms in florida, head to the hotel to take a break and review the exercise one last time. anyone on a physical level for me it's complicated because there's a lot of ground to cover. these are very large facilities. i usually walk about 20 to 30 kilometers in a competition weekend. now i'll take off my prosthetic legs, rest a little, relax on it, and think about the course. i'll compete in that 5 pm. those are the letters that are in the track. at each letter, you have to do an exercise. the judges will score you not only on the exercise itself, but also the accuracy and see, but somebody in a less upkeep of the now florida begins the competition. the

8:27 am
and happiness in japanese can so be means to prepare with gold. a method that celebrates the history of each object, emphasizing the fractures, instead of hiding them from this gives a new life to the piece, transforming it into an object even more beautiful than the original. here we symbolize resurgence in reverse and then i said we want to show the world that there is no one single type of beauty known to be the don't forget that if one day you break, you have the opportunity to re compose yourself into a more beautiful and stronger being the
