Even the littlest things were now a challenge, one I didn't understand.

I was scared...and did not know what was coming for me next.

With determination, it is possible to block out the negative things and enjoy the positive ones, despite the cons. Most importantly, it is possible to dance through everything pernicious.

The thought of being able to [move my arms] made me want to give up my legs [instead] since I was accustomed to using them. But, I figured that after a few hours of sitting in a wheelchair...I would switch back...in a flash.

I was really happy because the doctor had said I would be better by then, and I was ready for this terrible nightmare to be over.

Before I knew it, I was racing across the highway. For the first time in my life, I didn’t know what to think.

It seemed like an ordinary day, but little did I know that this wasn’t going to be a normal ballet class.

When the doctors came in a little while later saying they thought they knew my diagnosis, I was afraid to know.
