a dealer model. so let's look up the i this is florida also challenging 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 a line of the biggest challenges my left foot. because obviously when i planted, i don't know exactly where it is. i don't know if it has some grip or could slip. it's kind of a matter for right, but you can climb. you're not sure. but you have to trust a 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 know the data for him, but for example here, i don't have a less it holds, but i'll just go for it. and what about 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
7:20 pm

7:21 pm
whatever embarrassed either way. or 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 commitment thing. i have a place in the society and emission and i think it's a very nice purpose to be able to help others love you. 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 horses. hi justin, uncle because that's always the problem when you want to do everything for 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 nice and it's rare, but it does happen. well, yeah, i mean, only like when can it's to my there are those moments because we're all human. some we both are rare, but she loves to. yeah. and then with the sometimes the pressure was too great. florida has a marketing job as a model, a single mother and
7:22 pm
a top power athletes pursuing qualification to the paralympics in a sports that requires a great deal of commitment. bought as carmen says, florida loves so challenge temporarily since i always go with everything. everything was against us. no money, no horse, nothing you know saddles. and here i am competing with the horse with the saddle. so i keep going through and obviously the other. see if i trade 6 days a week in the afternoon, i'm with my son. that 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, 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 comes with 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 uses so to
7:23 pm
media to promote the acceptance of different body types. she has waited a long time to share a special video to sign up for that. this might be the toughest post i've ever shared. 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 lady and i gave you the names and we did little plays with the disguise stuff and told funny stories that i talked about how people react to it. and the same thing. it was a way of getting over that little trauma. but because there was a moment where he felt the tackle around, he took it badly that people were looking at me that i said at the moment we might say be 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 that to show my naked body. okay. and then a minute and where to put into 2nd. so here it is. all that's left is to share it, flow to share the video, even though it scares the competitive shared to come look at the last thing away,
7:24 pm
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, so today i bare everything for a better and more inclusive and warm, pathetic world, and i dedicated to my son. thank you for always being so brave and i love you. the, the time has come. florida is in madrid, with doubts on your own to compete at the 2nd, the full qualifying events for the power olympics, competition days, a highly demanding you have to deal with fatigue because as long hours i'm here all day and you don't sleep much. and when you get up very early, there's stresses and physical fatigue because i'm also not used to writing the voice twice in one day to prepare everything, assemble and disassembled twice. so i have to clean the material. now i'm here from
7:25 pm
7 am to 8 pm to a better that 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. how request 3 and outfits quicker more. i wanted to collaborate with her because i 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 or, you 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 every morning she gets up with that. cool. you're good. okay. i think this is a life lesson. and so yeah, 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. if they're not here, i might have the best horse in skills,
7:26 pm
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 in, on top of it, you're missing a leg. i think it's amazing. 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 headed 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 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, and if the judges will score you, not only on the exercise itself, but also the accuracy and see but some in a less of the,
7:27 pm

7:28 pm
cuz we try to make another type of data visible. we think it's important for people to feel a little better just because someone has some kind of physical disability or an issue with their body. they can still show it, feel good and do something beautiful. but the, you know, and happiness in japanese can so be means to repair with gold. and a message 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 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
