Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: Hi! My name is Anah Kryzanowski I am 17 and have a facial difference called Treacher Collins Syndrome. TCS affects my outward appearance in my face where it involves the underdevelopment of my cheekbones, jaw and ears! I am from Canada and am in grade 12! Next September (2022) I plan on going into practical nursing for college! I currently work part time as a substitute educational assistant!

What Inspires You Every day? : My inspiration in life would definitely have to be my family and friends! They love me and and support me always! I am so thankful for them and watching my friends and family achieve so many things brings me inspiration to try and do my best! I also find my inspiration in God. As a Christian I am inspired by God to do what’s right and to do my best in everything I do! I know God will help me through anything I go through! I also have found inspiration from online disability advocates and models. They inspire me that I can often do whatever I put my mind to and they encourage to love how I look which helps me build up my confidence!

Other goals I have are traveling and visiting the world as well as having a family to love and take care of. I also really want to want to become more of a disability advocate!

What are your thoughts on people who seek attention on social media, and what message would you like to give them? : N/A

What are your thoughts about people’s behavior from experience, and how would you help them.? : I’m not really sure how to answer this one so N/A

What qualities, traits or lifestyle you live makes you different from others in the world? : Everyone’s lives are so different and each person has so many different experiences. My facial difference could be a quality that makes me different from other people in the world! Also being a Christian is different then other people as well. No one is very much like anyone else in the world so I suppose many things about who I am makes me different from other people. I do love being unique in my own way.

What else would you like to tell others about you or your life?: I love how I look so much and I am proud to be who I am! I want each and everyone one of you to know, you are so amazing and beautiful!
