My name is Aisha Chaudhary and I'm 15 years old.

基礎受動態

I had to undergo a bone marrow transplant

Recently I've developed a serious illness

called Pulmonary Fibrosis - a hardening of the lung,

And due to my illness, my life has been full of challenges.

And I've often felt like I'm in the middle of a shipwreck.

The first lesson, is to Believe In Miracles.

Miracles are good things that are unlikely to happen.

that I would survive the bone marrow transplant.

that I would develop lung issues post the transplant.

was- You should always live in the moment.

This is a picture of me, about six months ago.

You can see that I had an oxygen tube in my nose.

Despite it all, I have a huge smile on my face.

All because I'm holding my new puppy, Rolo.

And all the pain and the sadness that seemed so overpowering,

in that one moment just seemed to melt away.

If you look at your whole life ahead of you,

You will find endless problems that you eventually have to face

day by day , hour by hour or even moment by moment,

you will find that your happiness will just begin to multiply.

When I was just stuck in bed, unable to move,

I thought hard about the things that I was able to do.

I could sit and I could put a smile on my face.

You can see in this picture, I'm all dressed up -- ready for a photo shoot.

Even though I'm sitting on that wheelchair

As I sat there and I posed for the camera,

it made me forget about all the things that I was incapable of.

And it was great to see what goes on in a photo shoot.

What I've learnt is that you should do what you can.

Instead of feeling bad about the things that you're unable to do.

is that in every difficulty, one can always find an opportunity.

For the past few years, I haven't been able

to attend school regularly like the rest of my friends.

And this year, I'm taking math and art as subjects,

But in this difficult time, I have managed to find the opportunity

In fact, I found that I've sketched and painted more

during my illness as compared to the time when I was well.

On this slide are two pieces that I've done recently.

Here's a portrait of a baby. Done with dry pastels.

It's actually from a photo I took myself at a family gathering.

for the album art for the music that my brother has composed.

And his song is called, 'Drowsy Elephants'.

This is a picture of me in my wheel chair,

back when I couldn't even walk two steps.

I would visualise what may seem like the smallest of things.

I'd imagine myself walking around the market,

I'd dream of dancing endlessly at my cousin's wedding.

I'd visualise things down to every little detail.

The colour of my outfit, which song I'd dance to,

The setting of the stage, and my family celebrating.

I dreamt of running around the garden with my two dogs.

I wished that I'd get out of that wheel chair,

I'd play a movie in my mind of all the things,

that seemed completely impossible, in that one moment.

I did walk around the market in London with my friend.

And now I get to stand here and talk to you !
