was able to share with him as he passed away shortly thereafter . He had many complications and could not survive but he gave me the joy of becoming his mother . That will always be with me , in my heart .
Now , it ’ s my turn to continue fighting to move on . If you ask me right now what has been the most difficult thing in my life , I would say losing a child , without a doubt . If you ask me what is the most wonderful thing , I would say it is becoming one of the finalists to participate in Miss Wheelchair World 2022 . I am grateful to be able to represent my beautiful country , Panama . It is a great opportunity to show that my fears and obstacles have been worth it and to know this will open doors where I will have the opportunity to help many women with disabilities know that we are all beautiful , inside and out , and that together we can go far . I am excited to be in Mexico and meet all the girls . I am a volunteer for an association that helps people with drug addiction . I love to be able to help motivate others . It fills me to know that I leave a grain of sand in each one of them .
I appreciate the opportunity to tell you a little about myself . Thank you for this valuable opportunity .
