Shiva Ghaemi Submitted By: Shiva Ghaemi As a breast cancer survivor, I bring a positive and confident outlook to my work whether modeling, acting, or working with special-needs children. I am proud that I am in a position to inspire and empower both younger and older women—proving that you can follow your bliss at any age and become whoever you want to be. I hope that my life can be inspiration to all! Our life is a culmination of our many choices and the biggest choice is what kind of legacy we want to leave behind! “Our life is a culmination of our many choices...” My message to all is that while you are still alive, breathing, and living, make your life worth living!! Follow your dream no matter what it takes. I am a firm believer that if you want to achieve something, you must prepare and work hard. I learned all this early in life. Eight years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I realized that I might not have any more time to do all the things I wanted in my life. I am so very thankful that I am a survivor and I will continue to take my life in the direction that is worthy. This is a total rebirth!!!! B
