During the hardest year in my life in which I nearly died in ICU, there were decisions to be made in school. We had to fill out UCAS forms to choose which university to go to. For some reason I never felt I was going to go to one. I was proved right as I had two more ICU visits coming up, scary stuff indeed, staying alive was more important than a degree.
I ended up with a very weakened chest, a mini tracheotomy and a ventilator all in the space of year. I was shellshocked and totally confused by life and ended up playing computer games for 4 years. It wasn't because I chose to be deliberately lazy either.
Extract;
...I knew and came to realise after my near death experience that my DMD had the potential to get much worse and much nastier. School would be fast approaching and most of my peers and friends had to choose their potential universities...
My life may have ended like this, 'he gave up and then faded into obscurity and died',
BUT NO!
I found a voluntary job online, then I was led to digital art, then I wrote a book and am writing another. All without a degree, university is not the only way to find employment, learning on the job is a great way to progress or you could work for yourself. There's always options!
Read through my extraordinary life in my book DMD LIFE ART & ME!
