"On 4/4/4/ my life changed forever due to an horrific accident caused by a nail in my tyre. My parents were told to prepare for the worst due to the tear in an aorta by my heart and traumatic Brain surgery and all my other life threatening injuries. I spent 2 months in a coma on life support then another 7 months in rehabilitation. There I had to learn to swallow, eat by myself, walk, talk, dress and wash myself and even learn to use a toilet again. By 2007 I felt ready to try and carry on again with my education and dream of teaching children with special needs or as I call them unfortunately blessed. I obtained NVQ 2, won 2 top awards and am now doing a degree in Teaching Foundation in Glyndour University and also in training for the Paralympics in Cycling. This experience has taught me to live life to the full, don`t take anything for granted and nothing is impossible if you have strength and determination. I have met some truly remarkable people on my journey so I don`t class myself as remarkable just lucky."
