I’ve found that in order to do this‚ I must actually write about my heart. When I was born‚ doctors discovered that I had a ventricular septal defect. The defect needed to be repaired‚ or I would have been wheelchair-bound and not lived past my fifth birthday. The experience of my heart surgery was not only life-altering for me‚ but for my parents

This means that I would be faced with challenging situations where I would need to think on my feet to solve problems
