I believe that I am a warrior. I have tackled every challenge in my life. Although being a female with special needs in this world is a challenge, I have not let it define me. My family are very supportive of me and they have inspired me to be the person that I am today.
I believe that girls are very inspirational and amazing as well as men. As well as being inspired by people around me, I have inspired other girls with special needs (and without special needs) to pursue their dreams and keep on being resilient.
I believe that I am a warrior because I do not give up even if life throws me challenges. I believe that all girls and women should stand up and speak out if they are facing difficulties. Although the world can sometimes seem unfair and a nightmare, there are people out there who care.
I have overcome the odds by not only attending a mainstream school with my special needs but I have also won awards and been given a lot of opportunities to pursue my dreams. This has given me confidence and the knowledge that my differences do not define me. I am who I am. I am me.
Remember that when the sharpest words want to cut you down, you need to send a flood and drown them out. You are brave. You are proof. You are who you were made to be. You are you.
Women should have equal opportunities to make a difference in the world just as much as men do. Men and women are equal. They might look different and act differently but in reality, they are both equal. I want to share my story to help women realise this.
