What Makes Us Doesnt Break Us

[Music]

[Applause]

medical conditions

the things that make us and breaks us

that makes me think though

do disorders have to break us in my

opinion

the answer to that question is no just

because we have a condition

doesn’t mean we can’t do certain things

i have this rare disorder called

vocal cord dysfunction or better known

as vcd

if you’ve never heard of it don’t worry

you’re not the only one

it’s a rare disorder in which when i’m

stressed or if i exercise too much

my vocal cords fall up to where it gets

harder and harder

to breathe when i go into obesity attack

i get dizzy it’s hard to breathe my

vision gets a bit

blurry when i was first diagnosed with

this in fourth grade

i was scared that i wouldn’t be able to

run a mile under 14 minutes

in fact that time limit intimidated me

very much

because it was the past to get an a now

in sixth grade even though i had this

strange condition

i still ran a mile under 14 minutes

in fact i ran a mile does 12 minutes

and 46 seconds vcd

is an anxiety trigger disorder yet i’m

still able to performancing on stage

like nothing is wrong for most people

this

experience is extremely stressful both

my passion

i push to the stress and i’m still able

to perform in sync

so what am i trying to say i’m saying

that if you have a passion

and you’re determined to do a certain

thing even if you have an affliction

you can do it if you set a clear path

and you’re determined

you can do anything think of it like

you’re driving and there’s a traffic

cone

what do you do you take that traffic

cone you move it aside

and you can continue on your journey

your worries and your disorders

are that traffic cone so when you’re

determined to do something

and you want to do it even if you have a

medical condition

take all of your worries and push them

aside you can

do it so disorders the things that make

us

certainly does not break us

you
