Doris , a 20-year-old who goes
by the Instagram name
@dorisstillsmiling took to her
page to celebrate the 7th
anniversary since she had her
right leg amputated! Read her
inspiring post below:
[b]"Today I still rejoice! Happy
anniversary to me! Today
makes it the 7th year of my
survival. I shall rejoice
during the month of
November because this is
the month that I had my
right leg amputated. :-)
When God decided that I
can be a better person
than what I thought I
might have been.
November - the month
when I stepped into the
gravel road, it was never
easy; the pain, tears,
heartbreak, torture,
depression and all the
negative vices you can
imagine.
After accepting myself for who
I am, today I know happiness,
love, care, faith, hope, strength
and vision with a purpose to
be alive because I never gave
up. I was not cursed but God
chose me to be His living
testimony. He made it a point
that I am different from
majority. Look at me 7 years
later, I am a queen and I have
been positive.
I am 20 years old, I am a
confident young woman. I
believe that disability is
attitude. I believe I'm no
difference from any woman
and I cannot be defined less
than that. Basically, I choose
not to be defined by my
challenges. So in my 7 years as
an amputee, I have learned to
have self-love, my clutches are
my best accessories. I always
have my beautiful smile as my
make-up. :-D It defines me
before the world. It is the
voice to my silence.
I see so much faith in myself
and it scares me. To think of
where I have been and where
I am going makes me
emotional. I will change the
world tomorrow!
I am happy with or without a
limb!! FOOTNOTE:
That something wonderful is
going to happen even with all
the ups and downs. Never take
a day for granted.
Cherish the little things and
hug the ones you love.
No pain, no gain.
I believe we are all bound to
face challenges and when they
come, we have got to be
strong.

I dedicate this sentence to all job seekers,to all sacked young promising guys, to all having any health related problems,and to those having one problem or another that has made them to ask the question "why me". How u see yourself determines what you will achieve

"I don't have mirror in my room,but whenever I face any challenges,i go to my sis room and stand infront of the mirror. While u use mirror to perfect your make up or take a selfie,i use it to see inner strength i've gotten that will make me to overcome them"-Akkord
