I knew that I did not have to buy into society's notion that I had to be handsome and healthy to be happy. I was in charge of my 'spaceship' and it was my up my down. I could choose to see this situation as a setback or as a starting point. I chose to begin life again.
And my dad drilled it in my head you know 'If you want it bad enough and you're willing to make the sacrifices you can do it. But first you have to believe in yourself.
