Beauty is an internal feeling” Paula Pérez Paula Pérez Instagram And you are a doctor, what led you to run for Miss World? I loved medical school, but I felt that it turned off my more creative side. I realized that if I wanted to combine medicine with other studies I had to work, so I visited a modeling agency that was next to my house. They hired me and I did several modeling jobs. It's a world with such creative people: makeup artists, stylists, agencies. One day I went to the workshop of a designer I knew from the modeling world and he told me about the contest. I investigated it and saw that it was not so focused on the physical, but that they were looking for an ambassador for social work and that attracted me, because I had always been interested in giving voice to the importance of mental health.
What is your message about mental health? We must talk about suicide prevention strategies, the need to increase access to psychologists in the health system; and in the educational part, give children and young people – highly exposed on social networks – the tools to manage and be able to talk without taboos about their mental health. Paula Pérez Paula Pérez Instagram In this sense, how Crypto Database has the competition affected you? It affected me more when I won the national championship. I've always been rather shy, and suddenly I felt very exposed. That made me very anxious and, in fact, I spent a week needing to stay in bed. What is the best advice you have been given? My mother embroidered the phrase "Believe in your dreams" on a canvas for me, and when I was little I took it literally because I didn't understand what it meant. She thought "I'm going to dream something and in the morning it will come true.
Years passed and the phrase stuck in my head, and in the end I realized that when I have a dream I pursue it, even if it goes against the current. And my mother taught me that. What is beauty for you? Beauty is something that comes from within. Yes, the physique is an instrument of beauty, obviously it is part of this contest, but you can now be the most beautiful model in the world and if you treat people badly you will not have any charm. When you are a teenager, you compare yourself and think that you have to have a certain face. We all go through having our acne phase, being swollen. But in the end beauty is an internal feeling. When you have confidence in yourself and project it, you feel more attractive. We have to value ourselves, because no one will do it for us. For me, this entire contest has been a path of self-discovery and has given me a lot of self-confidence. What is the first thing you will do if you win the contest? Call my mother. Last year she had health problems, she went through a major battle and she is slowly coming out of it. For her this is like a celebration because she is just being discharged from the hospital on the day of the gala.
