simple me

its hard to be born a girl more so a last born in a large family. i was everything but a quiet girl.many at times my family would have preferred to call me a Tommy girl. i was nothing compared to what i am today.
only one thing kept me going, the strength of i can. see, i am a precarious child. i was born with tretatology of fallot. forgive my french that means a hole in the heart. as a result i was not expected to live long. i suffered from many complications. my lips were always red and you would think i had permanent lipstick. my fingers were clubbed, my hair was brown in colour. as a matter of fact no one expected me to live past ten years old. i was living on bargained years.
i underwent an open heart surgery that corrected my condition. i could now smile, play act and jump like all the other children. many who knew me called it a miracle, many who know me call me a living testimony.
i believe in Celine Dion's words"deep within each heart there lies a magic spark that lights up the fire of all creation...since the dawn of man, the strength of just i can has brought together people of all nations...." don't know all the words bu there are some sentences which goes like"heal our hearts forever more, teaching lessons we must learn to bring us closer to the power of a dream....."
my dream is to become one of the greatest writers of my time. whats yours? a friend of mine once told me that your dream is your passion, your passion is what you can talk about for hours and never get bored. Challenge: post me your dream, id like to hear about it.
finally, don't laugh at your friends dreams. people who don't have dreams don't have much...
