'It’s very rare for a 14 year-old to have a stroke.'
A Derry student has told how her life was turned upside down after she suffered a stroke when she was just 14.
And during Stroke Awareness Month this May, Roisin wants to tell other younger people that they can achieve their dreams even after facing major challenges in their lives. Roisin said: “It’s very rare for a 14 year-old to have a stroke. It’s a lot for a young person to have to deal with. Thankfully I had my family, they were so supportive to me, especially my mum Jacqueline.”
“Before, I had been very academic, but the stroke affected that because I had a brain injury. I had learned to speak and walk again, but I didn’t regain full power in my right arm, and I had to learn how to write all over again using my left arm.” We're always open to ideas and if there's a story that you think needs reported or a person doing great things in the community, you can send us an email at [email protected] and we'll do our best to cover it.You’ll also find MyDerry on:
“I do still have challenges, but everything in life is good. My class are lovely, so supportive, I have made friends for life. My plan now is to continue studying Performing Arts and hopefully go on to work in Musical Theatre.
