When I was a baby, they didn't really give me much scope. They told my parents not to expect too much of me and just to play things purely by ear because I had a slight disability. My faith got me through that. You never give up on anything really; you never give up on yourself and the people around you. Words often hurt more than cuts and bruises and the scars are still there.

I have never been accepted by the world before. Now I do feel part of it and I find it really exciting. I keep asking myself "is this really happening?"

If it did all go away tomorrow, I know I've enjoyed every minute of living the dream now. Hide
