i was once a normal person, living a normal life with a husband and a beautiful daughter..but my life turns the other way around since i had a motorcycle accident..that accident happened after my shift at work..i was on my way home back then..this traumatic accident causes my L1 and L2 part of my spinal cord to breakdown into pieces, which definitely causes half of my body to be paralized.. it was so hard for me to accept the fact that i can no longer go to work, and even go in other places that i intended to go with, because i dont have the power and the ability to move even a toe of my feet..and the most hurting part of this accident was, my husband, left me and my daughter for another girl, weeks after the accident..it was so frustrating and heart breaking..it even comes to a point that i questioned, "God,why is this happening to me??why of all people, why me??" doctors had diagnosed that it will take quite sometime for me to be able to move half my body, because from my waist downwards were at its zero mobility..it will take years and alot of theraphy sessions for me to walk and gain its recovery..but the truth of the matter is, there is no cure with my condition.. i still tried my best, with the help and support of my loving family, to live my everyday life normally..just exactly the way it is before..after 3 years, i was able to gain enough strenght and recovery, to stand on my own, but my ankle and feet were still at its zero mobility until now..it is only my legs and knees that has able to gain recovery.. just to forget about my sad condition,i kept my self busy by accepting simple tasks, earning little amount of money which somehow, helps alot for me and my daughter's daily expenses..i used to make ribbons, for a flower pot decoration..it is until an opportunity comes in my life..TESDA had given different training courses in our community and i took advantage of it.. during my classes in the said training,i find it hard for me to mingle with other people for i had experience lots of people who looks at me as weak as a baby..everytime i step out of our home, i always catch people's attention because i wear a pair of leg braces and i use a pair of crathces as well..but i never mind them at all..with great persevirance and dedication to what i do,i got to finish my course for a call center agent, and applied for a job..lots of companies i had tried applying for a job, turned me down because they thought that i will not be able to make it..but i never gave up.. for that is the only way i thought of raising my kid on my own and providing her needs..until one day,though disabled and still weak at that time, someone had believed in my ability and luckily, i was hired as an agent..i was so happy that time..right now, i am enjoying everyday of my life, together with my daughter and family members.. i hope that you, atleast, you gained lessons regarding this story of my life..i advice persons, just like me with disability, to never ever get intimidated with normal persons around us..for i strongly believe that, we can also do what they can do..Disability was never a hindrance for us to regain and live a happy life even after a tragedy..dont be shy to go out and serve as an inspiration to everyone.. happy mylotting!!
