"I want to be a role model for other disabled people, so that when they look at me, they can be confident in themselves like I am." This is the very sincere confession of the Brazilian girl.

Back in time. It was a sad night for 20-year-old Paola Antonini.

The owner of a nightclub on the beach in Rio de Janeiro drank two beers before she got behind the wheel. The alcohol made her lose control and speed. Paola became a victim of that carelessness. One of her legs was crushed under the woman’s wheel. Paola was rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.

But her family did not have much money for surgery. In the end, to save their daughter's life, her parents, with Paola's consent, decided to amputate her entire left leg from the knee down. All her dreams and future plans seemed to be gone along with that slim leg that many other girls had wished to have.

On April 23, 2014, Paola was still this healthy and beautiful girl.

Just a normal girl, of course our Paola could not avoid the collapse when losing a part of her body. She did not dare to open her eyes to look at her wound, only imagined it in her head, vaguely wondering where her life would go.

However, she was a strong woman. Once her injuries had healed, Paola began to learn to walk on crutches. When life was not going her way, she had to learn to adapt.

But tragedy did not let the 20-year-old girl go easily. The doctors informed her that, if she did not want to have any complications later, Paola would have to have her entire leg amputated from the thigh down. Yet Paola agreed without hesitation. She agreed to wear a prosthetic leg from now on, and she did not consider it a strange shame.

Life goes on, it cannot stop because Paola becomes disabled. Neither can Paola. Like Beethoven, like Nick, Paola has never considered her disability as a dam blocking the abundant life flowing through her body.

But then an unexpected accident happened and took away the young girl's left leg.

Paola was full of happiness hanging out with her friends on the beach.

Determined not to succumb to fate, Paola gradually turned her prosthetic leg into her own source of inspiration and joy. She decided to become a model, a disabled model. And she began a campaign to conquer catwalks across Brazil. Besides, Paola also posted many pictures of herself in a sexy bikini, with her prosthetic leg, not hiding, not covering up, but full of confidence and pride.

It seems that the prosthetic leg has become a symbol of the young girl’s strength, a girl who did not let the great events in her life make her withdraw into a shell filled with resentment and shame. How many people who have lost a part of their body have the same optimism as Paola?

The girl was not shy about hiding her prosthetic leg.

Paola, like Beethoven in the past, or Nick Vujicic, or Jessica Cox, the world's first female pilot to fly a plane with her feet, are typical examples of the will to live, the spirit of steel and the endless potential of human beings. Who said that without arms and legs, you can't be a model? Look at PaolaAntonini, look at her Instagram, who would have thought that this sexy, strong girl is disabled?
