Reflection about life. Impact of my condition (Beta thalassemia) thus far: 1) Constantly out of breath 2) Occasional blackouts 3) Dizziness 4) Being downgraded to pes C9L9 5) Failure to upgrade to B1L1 for 5 attempts (Upgraded on the 6th attempt after 7 months) 6) Not being able to carry on training, OOC and downgraded 7) Having to upgrade (again), to complete my midshipmen course 8) Worrying of going to medical checkup and being downgraded (again) This condition has definitely negatively impacted my life - causing me to have troubles to strive for my goals at a desired time or, not even at all. This is a situation that I believed no one wants to be in. I persevered through my course in Mids Wing, had constant breakdowns, and Wolf division was always there to pick me up. What is it that I want to achieve? For my parents - to appreciate their presence and their smiles at my commissioning parade. For my friends, for my Pes C buddies who have the same condition as me - To prove that we can still achieve our goals despite having to take the longer and more arduous journey. Ultimately, I know I will continue to persevere on with my condition, I am contented with my life now, appreciating my family and friends who stood by me through the tough time to the present, though this condition will always remain in my life, I am thankful that you all didnt give up on me.
