Since being diagnosed with MS in August 2021, which was 1 month before starting my final year at college (year 13), I had nearly lost all hope in my future and the goals I always wanted to achieve. I would always ask myself why now? A few weeks before starting the year with all its ups downs. Went into year 13, stressing, crying, MS taking over me, losing hope, and so on. Told myself, I can’t let MS control me. Yes I do have MS but MS doesn’t have me. Pushed through year 13, went through all of its physical and mental breakdowns!! Boom got a relapse a day before my final A level biology exam, where my eye sight went all blurry. Went into the exam stressing, not having the full knowledge that I worked hard for throughout the year, and thinking about nothing but the night before that I spent in the hospital praying for a miracle to happen to get my clear vision back before the exam starts. Wondering again why now? Told myself I will go into this exam, do my best, write some stuff down, and whatever happens happens. On my way to the exam, I had a mixture of feelings, from worried about relapsing again, eye sight getting worse, but at the same time I put a bet on myself that I will do it. Sticked with the bet, finished the paper, went back home and was proud of myself that I stuck with my bet. Then I was like you gotta push through the rest!! What is left is now way less than what has passed!! Safe to say that those 2 and so weeks of A level Maths, Chemistry, and Biology exams, were probably the most traumatic thing of my life hahahahaha!! But the feeling of coming out that exam hall after the last ever exam, is honestly indescribable 🤩. Two months later, got my results. When I opened my results and saw A*AB. I looked at my mum and bursted out of tears. At the beginning of year 13, all the tears were tears of stress and panic, but those tears on results day, were off happiness, satisfaction, and relief!!! Looked at my results (was shaking not gonna lie😂), then told my mum “I DID IT, my dream of studying engineering since I was 10 years old IS HERE😭.” I couldn’t believe it!!! If someone was to tell me a few weeks before A levels started that I would get the grades, and get into engineering which has always been my dream, I wouldn’t believe it. And now I am a first year Aerospace Engineering Student!!! Honestly, words can’t describe how grateful I am. I just wanted to come here and share all this, as it could help anyone my age or even not my age who is thinking about giving up or is feeling down because of their MS. Please don’t. Push through it. I know it is difficult, it’s tough, but trust me you’ll see the results of all your efforts and hard work in the right time. Just be patient, and keep on going. If I did A levels while being newly diagnosed with MS, relapsing a day before a final exam and studying Aerospace Engineering now, then trust me you can definitely do this too!!! Sorry for it being so long just wanted to share hope to everyone and positivity!! You all got this :) Thank you!!! xx
