and I’ll start
by telling you the story of a little
girl who fell in love with when her eyes
was the most beautiful sport in the
world it was a sport that was completely
based off Mary that was really traveling
her mental toughness and that each time
that she thought about tennis court she
realized that makes her her and this
little book started playing when she was
four years old so she worked countless
hours I’m going to be burning Miami Sun
to drink lots of happiness and tears and
wins and losses but most of all she was
undergoing to be physical battle with
her own health
just to reach her dream from becoming a
professional tennis player any time
someone would ask her what you want to
be when you grow up her answer was
consistently that her dream was to play
professionally but life has this funny
way of creating storms and showing them
your way when you least expect it just
to see how well you can learn to dance
in the rain and I think that will happen
to her when she was 10 years old –
diagnosed with severe scoliosis which is
a progressive abnormal curvature of the
spine that really has no explanation as
to why or where it comes from the
students after Ashley made her fight
twice as hard just to prove it to
herself
and prove it to her diagnosis that she
could still make it to her dreams
so she was undergoing a bunch of
different forms of physical therapy
issues ring and costing praise for 20
out of the 24 hours per day and although
her deformity was very evident and it
created a lot of insecurities for her a
lot of anxieties and a lot of overall
things that a ten-year-old should not
have to go through she continued to
fight very hard because she knew that as
soon as she stepped foot onto that
tennis court all of these weren’t even
these anxieties they were all fade away
but left didn’t think that was enough
and when she was 14 years old her spine
had reached a curvature of
70 degrees and the only option that she
had left at that point was undergoing a
very major very invasive surgery called
the Sears found a fusion with
instrumentation her spine was completely
ripped apart and rebuilt using two metal
rods and trace accrues and I think the
picture does it justice to see how
invasive the surgery is this was not
only a very dangerous for her to go
through but it was a very traumatic
event for her from a B adjustment of her
very previously active lifestyle to
being a meanie being a baby in the body
of a 14 year old she also learned how to
walk again how to said Donegan do all
the daily life activities that we so
easily take for granted and the worst
threat of all was accepting and come to
terms with the fact that she would no
longer be able to do one meet her and
that little girl was me and today I’d
really love to share with you how I was
able to kill myself but helping others
it’s something a little bit to realize
that too often were the victim of our
own improperly process past experiences
or experiences that we frankly have
found the time and digest at all I had
surgery in November and from November to
January to April to me I always had some
at home with me and when someone would
ask me how I was doing
he’ll simply shrug my shoulders and say
I was doing okay and when they ask me
about my pain I said it had none even
though inside I was dying for how
excruciating and in militating my
painless but I did this for the sole
purpose not in my mind the goal that was
pushing me forward was I six months now
technically supposed to be healed I’ll
return to the tennis court and I’m just
be able to do my dream again just and
with the healthy back so every day I
create small goals from learning concept
for 36
city for 45 seconds walking one block
walking two blocks taking a shower by
myself all small holes that were helping
me to try and reach her malady again
without one day where I would return to
the fence work and I thought six-month
mark but I did return to the tennis
court and I realized that I was
physically incapable to do my dream and
normality was something that I could no
longer chief my world completely fell
and I began living in a non-functioning
plan my life’s began with me going to
school because I was forced to but that
would come home and say on the for my
bathroom where I have some privacy and
just cry crying ask myself why why is
mr. white what did I do wrong but this
is in my hands but I have no answer for
years I didn’t have an answer and it was
until one day where I got up and I
looked on myself in the mirror with a
feeling of such disgust towards myself
saying what are you doing with your life
how’s their life really come to just
sitting on the floor and crying and I
thought if I have filmed everyone my
parents myself my family everyone around
me because I was not able to get off
from what I was going through and so
that’s when I really decided to go it
was time to take matters into my own
hands and make a difference to use all
my anger all my pain all my suffering
and put it towards some things that may
mean something bigger and that’s where
my journey on the cluster this hospital
started I returned to my doctor dr.
Charcot Berger and asked me if I could
volunteer with him and I was absolutely
blessed in this answer when he said yet
because in doing so I got to meet so
many patients that are undergoing the
same thing that I have gone through and
I became a face of a living proof a
living Pope I’ve always wanted to happen
to these kids I think with them before
the surgery during and after and they’d
sit there and ask me can’t touch her
back you to some job
can you give me your perspective from
the patient and I was beyond thrilled
than not feeling that I had when they
smiled on me after I start with this
started to make a little bit of sense in
us to why I was going through certain
things from there I became an ambassador
for Nick Bostrom’s Hospital where I
speak on their behalf to raise the money
to fuel the vision to always be where
the children are we are blessed to have
a miracle-working hospital right in our
backyard and so it is my passion and my
privilege to be able to speak for them
because in all of this I was also able
to uncover another passion that I
conduct before I mean he would have
never found no stomach speaking from
there that I decided how I first started
to see that I left refined wings so how
my story you have a capacity to help
others and I’d like to expand that work
beyond those four walls of the hospital
and I started traveling to different
countries in Latin America specifically
in Mexico Colombia in the Dominican
Dominican Republic and I noticed one
common thing between all of these
countries and the misery that surrounded
the poverty and the poor areas misery in
the sense of youth prostitution drug
abuse sexual violence physical violence
in the face of innocent little kids and
that’s where I created a non-profit
foundation called James one on dying on
air one of the first ones that we saved
where my mission is to really clean up
the pink of the water the analogy I use
with my kids down there I’m cleaning the
fish tank because there’s little fishies
that are trying to breathe and swimming
but they can’t because of how murky
their water has to come so in Mexico I
brought telemedicine to a foster care
orphanage so that I can save them the
trip of going to hospital and sometimes
the majority of the time unnecessary so
with something just as big as an apple
we can get them access to medical care
then when I went to Colombia I worked
with parents of malnourished kids for
unfortunately they cannot and they do
not have a financial means to reach them
up so we teach the little thing the
learning
and the salon too simple nutritionist –
what a carbohydrate is when approaching
is to tell them what their kids need to
be brought up and where I do the
majority of network is in the Dominican
Republic in a small little town called
mocha she got where I work with an
orphanage of 90 girls but all
unfortunately been sexually abused and
these girls that provide them with
educational and psychological support
education something that we can have the
option in their life to do something
better once they get out of where they
are and psychological because no girl a
little boy nobody for life should have
to be exposed to what they are working
on is those two and so these are the
three countries that I’m working with
right now but I want to expand my work
because there is no greater feeling I’ve
got it than working with these kids and
working out the hostel and that little
feeling of fulfillment that you bet is
awesome enough now I’m not saying my
journey has been easy it’s not easy not
even you know I still unfortunately
suffered from chronic pain there’s not a
day that I can get up and say why like
every today there isn’t but I knew this
all of us continued to fuel need in my
passion and helping others because
through all of this and do my work I was
able to realize that to learn that my
mission in life was not complete tennis
tennis was just a pathway leading me to
realize that my life is devoted to
helping someone else now every time that
I thought I was getting better and
instead I was sitting in three steps
back every time I was upset and crying
or continue asking myself like today I
comment and the answer is to help
someone else
now all of us at one point or another
are going to undergo would be physical
or an emotional hurricane it’s
unfortunately the way life is
but with that we need to be aware and
realize that we cannot escape to look
for an answer because the answers are
always within ourselves and when we love
within ourselves and realize
what is that we truly like and we truly
love the light we can radiate that
positivity to everybody else and change
is hard I’ll be honest nicotine is very
hard because we’re so comfortable and we
underestimate the power of what is being
known we are afraid of not knowing but
you have to realize that when you let go
and you don’t know you will start living
again because you will be able to
uncover and find certain things that
were hidden in your comfort zone so I
encourage you to go out of your comfort
zone and find something that truly makes
you who you are all of us have a
passionate life whether these thing in
banking Chinese whatever it may be we
all have something and with that option
we have a unique gift and that gift is
to be able to help someone else it
doesn’t have to be something monumental
it can simply be just smiling at someone
sending policy reasons we’re not judging
someone we live in a society that is so
fast-paced all the time that we often
forget to stop and say I’m gonna help
the person next to me if we all do that
and we multiply it by millions this
society will become much better than
what it is now because we unfortunately
have to make sure that our people
society starts meeting our altruistic
sight and once all of us come together
in altruism that is precisely where the
beauty of humanity is it is the power of
us coming together to unite and help
someone else to make something beautiful
together when I said I want to leave you
with an image that you really
encompasses my journey and it
encompasses probably all of our jammies
on
in our lifetime and this is a beautiful
lotus flower this beautiful flower is
only able to arrive and become this
beauty once they have not too light and
darkness and just like us we will only
be able to radiate our positivity into
the world once we have gone through some
of the most darkest and trying times
exactly when we really discover who it
is that we are and remember if you take
anything away from my talk today when we
help someone else when you give someone
else hope naturally the person who is
benefiting the most from your out of kindness is
by telling you the story of a little
girl who fell in love with when her eyes

world it was a sport that was completely
based off Mary that was really traveling
