My name is Michael Empric, I'm an adjudicator with Guinness World Records in New York City.
I'm here in North Miami Beach, Florida today to see if Wildine Aumoithe is going to be
our new shortest female living non-mobile.
My name is Wildine Aumoithe, I'm 18-years-old and the type of dwarfism I have is SADDAN
dysplasia which is a rare type of dwarfism which means basically that my height is two foot five
at the moment.
Dwarfism is a genetic condition, there are actually about 400 types of dwarfism.
So I have the rarest type, the most common type is achondroplasia, usually people with
achondroplasia reach three feet or four feet tall.
They actually sent me to a hospice for six month to see if I'd die, but I didn't so after
that they just gave me to my mom and were like it's fine I guess!
My mom is pretty much my best friend, she helps me out with everything.
If it wasn't for her, I don't know what my life would be like.
Especially after the doctors said I wouldn't live past 24 hours, she accepted it and kept
on going.
She's a good mom, she never gave up.
My mum isn't even worried actually, about my dwarfism.
She's with me 24/7 and I'm really grateful.
I actually have siblings, I have two brothers and one sister right now, I did have an older
brother but unfortunately he passed away with sleep apnea and I actually have sleep apnea
and my dad has sleep apnea as well.
I actually have sleep apnea because of my dwarfism too.
I don't know, honestly, if it runs in my family because my dad had it and my brother had it.
So I'm really excited to try and break this record so I can become the world's shortest
female living non-mobile.
I think I'd be the first Haitian, if I'm not mistaken, for that record as well.
I think it would be pretty cool to show my heritage even though I was born in Miami but
I think it would be cool to have that record.
So I'm able to sit on the floor and move around but I can't walk now because my legs are folded
which is in conjunction with my type of dwarfism.
I will be going to college, I'm going to be studying pharmacy and probably do a minor
in graphic design.
What inspires me to do that is because there isn't actually a lot of little people who
are actually a pharmacist.
I've seen little people who are doctors and lawyers but I want to see if I can become
the first little person to become a pharmacist.
Congratulations!
You're a new Guinness World Records title holder!
Height is just a number to be honest.
Just because I'm a little person doesn't mean I'm different to anyone else because I'm still
human at the end of the day.
Congratulations, great job, you're Officially Amazing!
