i was diagnosed with Hypermobility syndrome. i had to stop dance. I joined the youth council and i now do my best to give young people a sayin the future i hope to shape the country into a place where no matter your age or where you come from you are wanted and accepted. no matter if you have an illness or a disability no one will segregate you from others like i initially was. i hope to inspire other young people that if you get a medical diagnosis in your teenage years you can still go on with your life you may have to adapt. for example i had to stop what i enjoyed most dance. but i kept going and found a new outlet to help others. It doesn't stop you being who you are. i just makes you change your decisions and live life differently.
