Defying the odds | Noor Haider | TEDxBaghdad

A glimpse into the challenges that face the disabled in Iraq and how they defy the odds, despite these challenges Success comes from one's ability to believe in himself, for belief is the corner stone upon which we gain our inner strength! Our speaker Noor Haider at the age of 23, Started her story after she challenged her life and circumstances when the doctors told her that she will pass away at the age of 13! But she insisted to fight and peruse her life as any other normal child, she used to be passionate about ballet but the loss of her legs prevented her passion from becoming a reality Thus, and just by the age of six years old; she made gymnastic as the turning point in her life.
