Amberly Lago Notable Quotes

“I did what I could to get as strong as I could, and so I always say, start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can.”                                                 – Amberly Lago

“I definitely have moments when it’s heavy for me, but throughout this process, I feel like pain has been my biggest teacher because it has taught me how to get through those hard times and how to tap into my resilience. And the beauty of that is that we can all do that.”
Amberly Lago

“Sometimes, people say things that aren’t so nice. And then you have other people that say something that gives you that glimmer of hope, and you have to hang onto those moments that give you hope, like that 1% chance of saving my leg—that was the moment I hung onto that got me through 34 surgeries.”
Amberly Lago
