Model and actressKennedy Garciahas had to overcome a lot of obstacles to get where she is today.
The 16-year-old has Down syndrome and her early years were spent in and out of the hospital.
But with the help of her doctors, family, and her own can-do attitude, Garcia has thrived.
Garcias success in the modeling industry is an incredible feat once you learn about her health challenges.
The young girl has had over 30 surgeries, leukemia, and spine fusion surgery as a toddler.
Throughout it all, she kept a positive attitudeeven when she was in pain or very sick.
Ive had so many fun jobs!
I feel so lucky.
Ever inspiring, Garcia also wants to set an example.
I hope that when people see me modeling, they know that people with disabilities can do anything.
