Tuesday Sicadsicad, a college student from Leyte, is a perfect example of determination and strength.
According to the article published on Rappler, Tuesday was struck by meningitis when she was 9 years old, which caused her to fall into a coma for 2 days. Her condition was so severe that when she recovered from the coma, they found out that the disease made her incapable of talking and controlling most of her muscles.
Because of her condition, she had to drop out of school when she was in Grade 3, but she continued learning at home with the use of a computer. Though she was no longer able to do the things that she used to do, her eagerness to learn remained very strong.
Later on, her family enrolled her for Alternative Learning System (ALS) so she could continue her basic education. Some of the challenges that she had to overcome during those years included having to learn to write with her foot and attending classes three times a week, which was quite difficult for her condition. Eventually, she was able to finish high school in Mabini Community School in Leyte with flying colors.
