So, I was born on the 1st June 1997. 3 months early.
For those that aren't aware, that means I missed 1/3 of my time inside the womb.

I weighed 0.16 stone. That's 28% of a regular newborn.
I had a 10% chance of survivng my first few weeks of life in an incubator, fortunatley and against all of the doctors theories, I survived.

I'm turning 18 in 26 days, and I can't believe that I almost wouldn't have lived to see this day.
I haven't done much with my life, and I am disappointed because of it.

Will Smith said something that I took to heart and recently started thinking about a lot.
He said: "If you're not making someone else's life better, than you are wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other people's lives better."

As of today, I am setting myself a target. A life goal, if you will.
On the day of my 21st birthday, I aim to be in the best physical condition I can possibly be in.
I want to look good, not only for myself, but to inspire others that it's possible. No matter how short, tall, fat, skinny or self conscious you are.

By the day of my 21st birthday, I want to be proud of myself. I want to make my life worth living.

You're very lucky :p
I was born with Chronic Lung Disease or something like that, because my lungs were heavily under-developed.

Over time, and with help of several blood transfusions from an anonymous man, I was healthy enough to be released from hospital.

Shitttt i was born 3 months early too, I was also in an incubator

Finally someone as early as me!
I've never seen or heard of anyone who was 3 months prem.

Odd one out but I was born on time.
That story is quite something and common.

Wow

Precious pictures. Good luck on your quest, Ellis.
