I am resilient woman, in my 40’s exactly I must to leave my live in Mexico including friends, career (MD) family and start again in the US.
We would like to thank you for supporting Martha Manzo in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
The thing that I love more about being over 40 the wisdom, the maturity, and the strength with wich I now face difficulties. I love that I am not longer a fragile woman and that my word does not break with anything. Also I love that even though I have many things that inspired me, I also become a woman who inspires.
How do you stay fabulous?I went through thing that almost broke my heart, a kidnapping at my 23 and I was widow at my 25, but what kept me and keeps me fabulous is the support of the people who love me, my daughter, my career as a MD and now the desire to adapt to this wonderful country, to learn something new like a language and culture. Because thanks to them I learned to have faith in what I do and in what I want to continue achieving, I learned to love myself a lot and trust in myself.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would use the money for invest in my education in the U.S. I did my Doctor degree in Medicine in Mexico and the cost of the courses, books and steps to be able to revalidate my career are very high. I love being a MD and my dream is to revalidate my career here and help people with their health and especially those who have a language barrier like me. Maybe with the rest I would buy a car because I get up at 4am to be able and o get to work at 8am.
