00:00If someone tells me I can't do things,
00:05I will prove them.
00:08They are wrong.
00:18When I'm wearing my arm, I feel bionic.
00:21I think it's cool and I don't want to change it.
00:25I like to be a bionic woman.
00:27I was born without my hands and my foot.
00:29I never struggled with growing up with my prosthetics.
00:33I had my first prosthetic when I was one and a half years.
00:37And I started walking when I got them.
00:41She would not let you treat her differently.
00:44We had one agreement we made.
00:47We don't help you unless you need help.
00:50Then you ask.
00:51And then we immediately, whatever it is, help you.
00:55This is my deadlift hoop and I can do everything with it.
00:58It's like another hand.
01:00Put it on, strap and I'm good to go.
01:05I love to go to the gym because in the gym I can do everything I want to do.
01:10In the gym you don't have any limits.
01:13Starting with some warm-up.
01:15And then squats, deadlift, weightlifting.
01:20I don't use my prosthetic because I will break it.
01:24I found this band and I can wrap it around my arm.
01:35I can be myself and do whatever I want.
01:38I don't have any limits in the gym.
01:45This is my bionic arm.
01:47It works on muscle movement.
01:50On the inside of my arm you have sensors.
01:54They feel the inside and the outside of my arm.
01:57Now I'm opening.
01:59It's like this.
02:01And now I'm closing.
02:03So I can move my thumb.
02:06I have three different legs.
02:08I have my blade that's made for running.
02:12Then I have my leg for high heels.
02:15And I can adjust it like this.
02:18So I can wear high heels or roller skating.
02:21When I'm on my roller blades I can go and don't think about my leg.
02:27So that's the freedom my legs give me.
02:30Then my third leg.
02:32It's just for walking.
02:35And it bends really well.
02:37Go for it. Be yourself.
02:39And show the world we are just like them.
02:42If you don't feel like that, go search for other amputees.
02:46We will be together and grow together.
02:49It's a new world. It's different.
02:51And everybody can do what they love to do with their disability.
