id love to be a model for teens living with cancer

hi my name is maria bustamante but i go by mia
i have stage 3 type B Hodgkin lymphoma and everyone i meet tells me how strikingly beautiful i am with and without my hair. im completely bald now and i still have all my confidence if not more; multiple employees at Randall children s hospital in Portland Oregon said i could be a model for cancer. im very very interest and want to be a model but im 17 and 5’1, but please stay in touch and help me find out more info about modeling i want to make a difference in other teens and kids lives by showing them that life is so far from over because of cancer. i have cancer, cancer does not have me:)
sincerely maria
