Paola Buzzone is a name that can be synonymous with high spiritedness and with success in all walks of life; whether you are an acclaimed writer or a mother who has raised a family while taking care of a handicapped child; there will always be something to celebrate about the life of Paola Buzzone. As a writer, Buzzone has managed to establish a home for herself in the publishing world. The publication of her first novel, entitled ‘Shattered Dreams’ has been met with critical acclaim. Her next novel ‘The River of Time’ promises to be even more popular, and promises to combine a first person narrative, with a cast of characters that are as real as they are intriguing.
Paola Buzzone is described as tall, with broad shoulders and an unusually large bosom for someone who stands at only 17 inches. What does this mean for a height competitor? While being tall does not automatically translate into being successful, it certainly gives one the chance to be given the opportunity to shine. Being tall enough to race and being muscular enough to display the trappings of success, is something that few people are privileged to enjoy; but if a height competitor were to win an international event such as the Olympics; it would almost guarantee a lengthy period of publicity and a great deal of prestige for the person involved.
Being tall in Paola Buzzone’s case, means that she is also considered an intelligent person, though this is not necessarily a bad attribute in a career that is so focused on intellectual stimulation. As with many of the people mentioned in this article, success has been achieved through hard work and determination; this should not be discounted when considering the advantages height brings. One has only to see Paola Buzzone’s determination to recover from the ravages of an accident that left her with a physical handicap, to realise that she has set out to make a positive change in her life. Now, along with her partner, she has taken this aim one step further by setting up a national wheelchair racing programme and is hoping to inspire others who may be less fortunate than she is.
