And she adds: One day I woke up to go to school as usual, but my legs did not carry me and I fell to the ground .. The doctor said this is paralysis ..

And she continues: I flattened a 3-meter painting, and I used to tie my legs with a belt and stand, but I painted the painting and called it the Hymn of Resilience, and it is currently taught in the secondary school in the Qatari curricula.
