5:16 am
facile jessica middle castle, josh. find out about robina story info migrants. so i am floating on you and at the age of 21 i had a motorcycle accident. ok, but it's what had appeared to be a simple to be a in february fracture developed into gang green due to medical negligence. and my left leg had to be amputated and the scanner. ready christmas is 3 months and $26.00 operations. later i left the hospital and decided to embrace the 2nd chance at life. i was given thanks to the horse i've recovered physically and emotionally. and since then, i fought to fulfill my live stream of competing at the paralympic games and put my model into practice, which is that limit, it's our only in our head,
5:17 am
the espinoza, switched phone power interest. all right, a who lives with her 10 year old son, noah in panama. and i do like town by the beach and south west spain. as a young girl, losing a leg was a major set back. and after a year of tough therapy, florida met a woman who officer a chance to write again and pulses became a key component of her rehab. she told me, well, why don't we try it? i think i told you it would be tricky since you mount the horse from the left side and i'm missing my left leg and i found one day i went when we tried putting a chair on the other side. the truth is that it was a mess for me to get up there, but i didn't, and that's how it all started and i decided to help her and she would give me classes. so i cleaned the stables and helped her clean the horses all on one leg because they did not have a prosthesis get out of it. so the 1st year i was always on crutches. it was good
5:18 am
because it force me out of the house and out of my comfort zone, people asked, how are you going to do it on one leg? you can clean staples and horses on one leg and if you really want something, you can do it right now. i get on the horse from the official side wearing my prosthesis, the company, the power dressers, it's a technical support with a ride that has 5 elements to get the holes to follow the instructions and voice and the 2 arms and legs. even though florida is missing one element, she follows that coaches guidance and manages to accurately control whole stuff on your course, the federal model of the legal or the they're gonna be put into that are coming up the model. and that's a couple other in the i s a loaner also challenges yourself to practice other sports in which normally the lack of it like would be an obstacle to often goes climbing with the friends comment when i go i'm the biggest challenge is my less i
5:19 am
did because obviously when i planted, i don't know exactly where it is, so i don't know if it has grid or could slip. it's kind of a metaphor, right? but you can climb, you're not sure, but you have to trust a little a point in the support of trust. the often 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 maybe you have to trust a little that you can do it. and the limiting 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 minute. if i follow is that a role that i must land on my right leg? just like when i get off the horse of your mind, 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 because 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 responses. at the same time,
5:20 am
she is a role model for inclusion and diversity. if it wasn't for these collaborations, i couldn't do what i'm doing because i can't afford it. practically all the material i have is sponsored and i try 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 do many 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 and 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 embarrassed another way somebody 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 the attendance across a committee. i think i have a place in the society and emission and i think it's a very nice purpose to be able to help others. and i love you. i see her without
5:21 am
insecurities of other natural beauty or desire to live. and i like being able to help them 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 guy just depends on because that's always the problem. when you want to do everything for him, 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 relies, it's too much there are those moments because we're all human. some we both are rare, but she loves to. and then with the sometimes the pressure was too great. florida has a marketing job as a model, a single mother and the top power athletes pursuing qualification to the paralympics and a sports that requires a great deal of commitment. bought as carmen says, florida loves the challenge. temperature with this, i always go with everything. everything was against us, no money, no horse, nothing you know saddles. and here i am competing with
5:22 am
a horse with the saddle. so i keep going through not to say the other. i trained 6 days a week and the afternoon i'm with my son sort of the house groceries, my online job, 2 hours minimum every day of social networks promoting brands uploading content. i can't give more with the circumstances. i have. i have a son by a job. i have a house and i am alone. so then i'm going to belgium to compete and my mother is coming over from switzerland to take care of my son for 10 days. i will bring my son along for 10 days, and a truck on for the competing is the easiest. it's everything else behind it that's a lot. it's a lot as much. florida helps amputees in an online support group and use a social media to promote the acceptance of different body types. wait is a long time to share a special video to sign up for that. this might be the toughest post i've ever shared, but i'm sharing the video i made for my son, be the okay. so what i'm, you know, i'm at a certain age and i realize people were looking at me because i was different that and that's, and also i disguise myself down to the young. i mean, i gave it
5:23 am
a 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 either because 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 see 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 get a minute and you're going to push me into 2nd. so here it is. all that's left is to share it. florida says the video, even though it scares how competitive sharon can look at 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 teach my son, you have to be brave if i don't lead by example. and so today i'd be everything for a better and more inclusive and more empathetic world. and i dedicated to my son.
5:24 am
thank you for always being so brave and i love you can the time has come. florida isn't madrid with death on your own, to compete at the 2nd, to full qualifying events for the paralympics, competition days, a highly demanding type. any you have to deal with fatigue because as long hours, i'm here all day and you don't sleep much when you get up very early. there's stress and physical fatigue because i'm also not used to writing the force twice in one day to prepare everything, assemble and disassembled twice. i have to clean the material now i'm here from 7 am to 8 pm to athletics. these events also an opportunity for florida to meet and engage with sponsors in madrid. florida meets sandra, who represents the brand she models for an exchange for sponsoring her request stream outfits quicker. more just to i wanted to collaborate with her because i
5:25 am
love her story. and she's a fighter, i contacted brands and asked them if they would be interested at the time. they were fascinated, you know, and they didn't understand why they didn't have any pair of questions yet. and when they saw her, they said, go ahead. i mean, we don't use her as a model for people with disabilities. know for us. she's a model underwriter, like any other writer in the end, what people get is that she has had a blow in life and has risen up to it. and she has a dream and goes for it. and every morning she gets up with that. cool. you're good . okay. i think this is a life lesson. i really couldn't compete with those sponsors because i don't have the financial means or the possibilities. so this is a project that benefits all of us. yeah. you know, if they're not here, i might have the best horse and skills, but i can't go up and compete with the name. i don't understand why there aren't more sponsors. what? because if you're a rider, you know how difficult it is. and on top of it, you're missing a leg. i think it's amazing. okay. yep. and what she achieves is really spectacular . and one time because he's here, right. and she's much better than a writer with 2 legs and arms. florida hits to the hotel to take
5:26 am
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 for them. 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 some of them, a less upkeep of the now sloan. it begins the competition, the ball that opinion she finishes good. it's a good results, but not enough to secure

5:28 am
and happiness in japanese can. so the means to repair 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 as reverse and 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 read, compose yourself into a more beautiful and stronger being the are you a fan? are you a real fan? with the years in germany this summer, we want to know what makes german football culture so special
