When the dream turns to a nightmare.
Worked so hard, for years, to achieve my level 6 in skiing (final level). Sold my “pre-loved” items to fund the £1600 school ski trip to France. Was so excited to gain experience on the snow and have quality time with school friends however this all came crashing down when, within the first hour of the first lesson, I damaged my leg.
When things don’t go to plan — whether it’s a setback, a disappointment, or an injury — it can knock the wind out of you. But resilience, a bit of grit, and a sense of humour help you adapt, keep moving, and find a new way forward. Stick with it, and success often shows up when you least expect it.
Two weeks on I’ve got the go ahead from the hospital and physiotherapy to remain in the The Minerva Juniors production of The Little Mermaid.
Please, please support my efforts and come to see the show or take an advert in the show program (£50 half page, £100 full page).
The Little Mermaid – East Kilbride Village Theatre – 17th to 21st Feb
