Polina is a brave and determined young girl who, despite being diagnosed with anoxetic dysplasia, a rare condition that limits physical growth, has managed to live as normal and fulfilling a life as possible. Her disease is so rare that she is one of only eight people in the world known to have it.
Since appearing on a TV show in 2013, Polina has become a well-known and inspiring figure. Although she is small in stature, she possesses a strong will and character that sets her apart. Her family describes her as powerful and strong-willed, proving that height does not affect a person’s potential to succeed and positively influence others.
Despite her diagnosis, Polina received a traditional education until the age of seven, when it was decided that it would be best for her to switch to home schooling. This was partly due to the physical difficulty of carrying a school bag, which ended up weighing more than itself. However, she never let these challenges get in the way of her love of learning and she is known for her academic zeal.
In addition to her studies, Polina is also a talented artist, a fact which has been recognized by acquaintances who have suggested that she should attend art school. This is an appealing idea for Polina, as she would not need to carry around a large amount of heavy books, as is the case with traditional school.
Today, at the age of 14, Polina continues to thrive. She got her passport and leads a full and happy life, pursuing her studies and actively participating in her community. Her life is an inspiring example of courage, perseverance and determination to live life to the fullest despite challenges.
