Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
A 22-YEAR-OLD blogger is embarking on a career as a model despite suffering from a rare generative disease. At eight months old, Vita Bernik's parents noticed she wasn-t meeting the milestones the same as other kids her age. After numerous doctor visits, Vita, from Slovenia, was eventually diagnosed with SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) type 2. With time, her muscles became weaker and weaker and various cases of pneumonia made her condition even worse, also damaging Vita-s vocal cords. At the age of 21, Vita was forced to wear a BiPAP, a breathing support device 24/7. In 2017 there was a glimmer of hope when the first ever treatment for SMA became available. However, during the initial testing, doctors found that Vita didn-t actually have SMA after all. Since then doctors have been unable to diagnose Vita properly. Vita-s illness caused plenty of insecurities during her teenage years. She told Truly: -When I got to my teenage years, I lost a lot of weight, which made me more self-conscious. - The turning point came last year, when a photographer reached out to Vita via social media, asking her to model for him. Since then, Vita has been scooped up by a prestigious modeling agency

Everyone talks about the evils of social media, but like everything else in the universe, there is always a balance. Social media can separate us, but it also can bring us together. Girls like Vida can get the positive attention that perhaps they lack -at home. - It-s too easy to think that your neighborhood/school/friend group are the only people out there. Social media can help to show that all over the world there are supportive and positive people, ready to boost you up, instead of bringing you down.

I loved the part when she mentioned that eventually she asked herself why wouldn't she accept something (breathing support) that helps her basically, live? I really liked the end where she said to people who feel sorry for me, I would say, I don't and neither should you.
reply

Proud that she is now walking and breathing the worst is that she can breathe you want people to not breathe so they feel better. What im trying to say is that at least she can breathe well and is doing well ---

Your purpose of life is to have a impact on people to let them know anything is possible. I love your pictures! Continue to strive and don-t allow anyone to steal your joy away from you. -

I have an unknown disability they told me it was something then they said it-s not that. I was born with nothing wrong then it started around the age of 4

Vita is a very beautiful name and fell in love it even more when I did get to know what it means- (throught the comments)

Vita is inspiring! I love her attitude, her strength and the way she-s breaking down barriers for future generations!
reply

what's the difference between this breathing hose she's using and those thin ones you put in your nose?
reply

Photoes of her look really beautiful. I'm happy that she is strong enough to continue her life and hobby
reply

Perhaps all along she was fine but became like that due to medication for a misdiagnosis since a baby.
reply

Maybe I don't understand something, but why in Slovenia everybody speaks English, even this model girl-)
