Hi everyone. I really hope that my life story can really encourage and inspire others, to always believe in yourselves despite of challenges.
I was born as a severe premature baby along with severe brain bleeding [ Grade 3 / 4 ], lung failure, heart failure and I spent my first 2 years of life in the hospital undergoing a lot of surgeries and my survival rate was really at the point where I could easily die from any health compliation almost instantly. I was casted as a cerebral palsy which means I could never walk or do anything except sit in a wheelchair for the rest of my life and I was diagnosed with extremely low IQ and I was supposed to start Primary School a year later as I was deemed not suitable to step into a normal schooling environment but was supposed to enter a special school.
My situation in school did not get any better as I was humiliated, put down and even looked down for being a liability and a hassle to everyone as the brain bleeding has indeed affected my response/reaction time and I was considered as the bottom rank of students as I take longer, to understand basic things that people could possibility understand a few times but I would need more time in order to accomplish it. I was also considered as a person who might never make it in life due to my weird personality, quietness and how shy I was with talking to other people as I was scared that I might get judged and it really destroyed my self-confidence/self-esteem as a person.
I'm in a much better state now, just completed High School and currently based in the Translation/Writing industry and gaining experience from all kinds of companies [ big/small ones ] and its really all thanks to family support, although I'm definitely not at the top of the bunch in terms of academic performance, but I'm trying and working hard daily, to give myself a better tomorrow!
It has indeed taught me, to lead my life the way I believe it should be led, while also treasuring the little moments we have in our lifetime while also thriving to be better versions of ourselves
