It's through Challenges I have been living. The struggles have been real, but I never had the thought of give up until today.
"When I was born, I wasn't even breathing , I was put on life support. Soon, I got into coma and my life took a upside turn.
The doctors told my parents that I wouldn't survive , but my parents wanted to fight for me , for them I was their first child. I fought and braved all the storms to come back home.
At the age of 3 , I did not have the ability to listen , or to speak. Everyone , used to say she will never speak , put her in a special school. She is not a normal girl, unfortunately I had been listening it since a quite few years . Among all this , my dad had enough courage to get me a transplant , my ears were not capable enough to listen. The surgery became complicated, till they found internal bleeding in my brain. Doctors gave me a 96 percent death rate , they said go home, but my dad looked at my glass being 4 percent full and not 96 percent empty.
The doctors tried everything but nothing worked- once a doctor said "Just pray that she passes away soon". He even said there is no chance of survival, take your girl home and allow her to live with family for next few months, because there is nothing that we can do. But we do have choices in life , and the choices we make can redefine and re-mould our future. My dad asked one question, I don't know what are the chances of my daughter dying is , I just want to know what are chances my daughter surviving is? They even said if she would be a miracle baby , she would survive. I truly believe that outside of love , HOPE is the most powerful word in English dictionary. I survived , fortunately. I am among the lucky ones, but I am not the lucky ones because that I am still alive , I am the lucky ones becuase I wasn't my dad. My dad had it tough , how can he see his daughter dying in front of him. Doctors said to my dad, she will never go to school, she would never play games, she would be a housebound baby, and even if she reaches her teenage years , it would be a miracle.
But I made it & that day , my dad got a second life. However, life wasn't easy for me - my parents would be pitied when they would walk with m e on street , "Aapki beti toh kabhi bolegi hi nhi". I started going to school, but I had no friends, because I couldn't speak that well. I still listen , that my Hindi isn't that god, but who knows, I have came out of mouth of death two times.
My dad worked on my speaking skills, taught me how to walk, play games and make me grew like a normal,healthy baby .There were a lot of hiccups along the way. I had my first glandular fever when I was 12, and people kept on telling me that I wouldn't do it. So maybe , I made sure I could really do it. I had my first bacterial meningitis when I was 15 , but I was lucky enough to get a whooping 9.6/10 in my standard 10th along with the best young artist at state level competition . I wasn't that special child, but I was something extraordinary. But you know Life is like a roller coaster , you can get to pinnacle point in your life and it could be taken away in a heart beat. I survived brain fever when I was 17 , and still managed to get 93% in my 12th exams. I couldn't manage to make to most of prestigious engineering colleges , and everyone start blaming me for my brain fever., I was a depressed girl, I thought life wasn't fair and I would pray every night that I wouldn't wake up in morning. I just wanted God to take me. But for every time I was knocked, I always remember what my dad told me, it doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, how many times you get up truely determines the quality of life.
Until, then I have been fighting all through which came to my path till today when the thought of death arrived today. But not to forget , my dad being my constant motivation. He has been always saying , I am proud of you , you braved enough storms to see where you stand , you are not my ordinary girl, you are one extra-ordinary girl.
Shoot for the moon, even you fall you will land among the stars.
