My name is Brooke Parsons，and the story of my life is different.One day，in April，1993，I was home alone when I had a stroke.When my parents came home，they took me to the hospital to learn what lay ahead for all of us.The stroke has left me with permanent brain damage.The doctors suggested I quit school.However，I chose the opposite.
After returning to high school，I learned very slowly.I had to decide whether or not to complete the twelfth grade in 2 years.Thinking I would fail if I chose to do it in one year，finally I made my decision.The staff at school were very supportive and helped me through the rough times.Finally，I graduated from high school.Graduating from high school was a huge achievement for me.That was an opportunity for me to be really proud of just how far I had come with all the odds I had to beat.
I can now walk，talk，dress myself，feed myself and be the independent person I am today.I have achieved my VCE and I am now at university，studying to be a social worker.I have been a scholarship winner.I have become a life-long member of the local musical band.All of these achievements are beyond my imagination.Now I am even in a novel called Second Chances by Neil Mitchall.
I could have easily listened to the doctors when I first had my stroke，but I decided I was going to prove them wrong as they did not know me，nor did they know just how determined I would be.
It's a big world out there.I have done and achieved so much and never once will I allow the odds to get the better of me，as there is still a whole lot more things out there for me to do.I love life and I am living it to the maximum.
