Finalist Miss Canada 2016
Sabina G.
Hello,
Growing up I always dreamed of becoming a model and icon for people to look up to. As a little girl, my mom would always call me Miss Canada. But life has a way of testing us…
For at the fragile age of 16 I had a child, this put my life on a holt. I thought my dreams were over and that this was all that I had going for me was to just be a mother, working 9-5 jobs and not being able to have all the opportunities that all the other girls around me had. After 8 years and watching my daughter grow into a person I realized there was a purpose I was given a child so young. It was the test of determination and passion!
My beautiful girl Emma is now everything I am today. She taught me responsibility. She showed me what unconditional love truly means. She is my inspiration when days are dark and I want to quit. To show her you should never give up on your dreams.
Today I’ve gone from struggling with my weight and self image looking in the mirror and not seeing what people see to a growing career in modelling. I’ve gone back to school and complete my high school. I’ve taught myself digital graphics for photos, video, and marketing working alongside nationally recognized producers and directors. And I’m finally competing at Miss Canada realizing the vision my mom always had for me.
I want women everywhere to know it’s never too late to turn your life around. No matter how hard things get to never stop believing in the beauty of your dreams and sometimes your greatest hardship turns out to be your greatest opportunity.”
