GoUni tells inspirational story about a woman whose life changed because of English. Her name is Natalia Vodianova. 💃🏼

NATALIA VODIANOVA

Natalia Vodianova is a Russian supermodel. Her nickname on catwalk is Supernova.

She was born in 1982 in a town not so far away from Moscow, Russia. She was a regular girl. Her parents were divorced, and she stayed with her mum. They lived together with her younger sister who was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy or CP. Natalia needed to help her mum earned a living by selling food products on the streets of Russia, making ends meet. She started working since she was 11.  

When she reached 17, she was spotted by an agent who wanted her to become a model. Natalia, at that time was very psyched about the opportunity. However, the agent told her that before she was able to move to Paris, to became a model, she needed to be able to speak English within 3 months. Given a short time, she was able to achieve it. She speaks fluent English thanks to her ambition and perseverance at that time. 😎

Natalia, speaking in English, explaining about her childhood life and success

Of course, English is just a starting point of her success in life. A decade of working as a model, she has become one of the most internationally well-known supermodel. She was a presenter for several brandnames such as Calvin Klein, H&M as well as the British-born, Stella MacCartney. 😇

Apart from her beauty and dedication, she also has a good heart. She considered herself a philanthropist, and founded the Naked Heart Foundation in 2014! The foundation aims to help and promote the lives of disable children in Russia.

The main factor that propelled her to succeed is the tenacity and endurance that she has. From the first step, she worked hard to be able to speak English. Now it has helped open doors of opportunity for her, and made her become such a beautiful and kind person.⭐️💚
