We may feel vulnerable, weak and unprepared. We may also feel free, determined and unstoppable, nonetheless we fail to liberate ourselves from the chain of mediocrities!<br \/>\nThus, I request you to go through this story about the girl called <strong>Konkona Datta, <\/strong>entitled to <strong>&#8220;Ms. Teen 2012&#8221;<\/strong> and also accorded with <strong>Young Leaders Award 2017<\/strong>. She has successfully maneuvered the array of landmines, the landmines that manifested as pitfalls i.e.<strong> Osteoporosis<\/strong> on the pathway to her ambition.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure after reading this, you find your problems as <strong>miniscules<\/strong> infront of what she has been through!<br \/>\nDespite of being exposed to every facet of misfortune, she challenged all the hurdles with <strong>fitting attitude, unwavering optimism. \u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You will be bewildered with her steadfast willingness, and without <strong>budging an inch in her confidence, <\/strong>how she took her journey from <strong>surviving to thriving!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Read on her story :<\/p>\n<h3>1) Many of us have deep rooted insecurities for minute things, how did you manage to deal with the disease you&#8217;re suffering from? You never felt insecure ?<\/h3>\n<p>Ans) Throughout\u00a0my childhood, I had been suffering a lot. I was diagnosed with Typhoid at the age of 3. Unfortunately, it was way too late, doctor mentioned that there were very rare chances of my survival. Some how I escaped from <strong>the jaws of death!!<\/strong> Regardless of my survival, I was prone to further sickness<strong> (osteoporosis)<\/strong>. I accepted the way I was, didn&#8217;t allow this illness to <strong>curb<\/strong> my pathway.<\/p>\n<h3>2) At any point of time, did you felt as sheer misfortune for being victim of osteoporosis and wished you had normal life like others. How did you withstand this whipping disease?<\/h3>\n<p>Ans) Everyone around me had a normal life, whereas coming to me, I had to undergo <strong>uphill struggle<\/strong> for each and everthing. Sometimes, I used to feel jealous of others, infact that endless comparison incubated more of yearning inside me. Daily, I used to miss one class, took a bus to the nearby local park and hung to the bar. <strong>Believe me, I continued to do this for 3 months inorder to increase my height<\/strong>. I even joined gym to circumvent these height problems. Things were hazy at that time, howbeit I didn&#8217;t stop chasing my dream, I could see me dream more <strong>substantial than those stoppages!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>3) Did you ever feel like you were thorn in your parents side? Protuding thought of burying your dream deep inside. Any such thoughts have ever muddled you up, when this height fluctuation dampened your digilence ?<\/h3>\n<p>Ans) No, my parents were very supportive. They reassured me saying that &#8211;<strong> &#8220;you are not behind, you are just on your own path!!&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nI also happen to suffer with <strong>anemia and vitamin D deficiency<\/strong>,<strong> because of which I wasn&#8217;t able to walk after a few days<\/strong>. I was forced to take many leaves in my schooling and this same thing continued in my graduation also. Everyone presumed that I would be chilling at home, incontrast I was fighting my own battle. <strong>Fluctuations in my height<\/strong> broke me down, ripped me into pieces! I often cried whenever my dream seemed <strong>far fetched!!<\/strong> As a result of my own self-defeating thoughts,\u00a0I ended up into depression for 3 years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_210331\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-210331\" style=\"width: 608px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"210331\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/indian-youth-award-winner-2017-ms-teen-konkona-datta-story-interview\/2017-06-25-12-54-24-4592\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/28122123\/2017-06-25-12-54-24-4592.jpg?fit=608%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"608,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2017-06-25-12-54-24-4592\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/28122123\/2017-06-25-12-54-24-4592.jpg?fit=300%2C296&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/28122123\/2017-06-25-12-54-24-4592.jpg?fit=608%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-210331 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/28122123\/2017-06-25-12-54-24-4592.jpg?resize=608%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Konkona datta pic\" width=\"608\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/28122123\/2017-06-25-12-54-24-4592.jpg?resize=608%2C600&#038;ssl=1 608w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/28122123\/2017-06-25-12-54-24-4592.jpg?resize=608%2C600&#038;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-210331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Konkona datta pic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>\u00a04) Your ambition of becoming Ms India isn&#8217;t a cakewalk.

Many of my friends used to think that I would end up doing nothing, at times they even made fun of me.
