Ni Nengah Widiasih

Ni Nengah Widiasih, or Widi, is one of Indonesia's weightlifting athletes. She competes in the Asean Paragames and the Paraolympics, and she manages to bring home many medals, including a bronze in the Paraolympics. She was diagnosed with polio when she was 3, and ever since then she had to use a wheelchair. Her brother was the one who introduced powerlifting to her. In one of her first competitions, she managed to win a gold medal with only 3 months of practice. Reading her story really motivates me to work hard and to never give up. Her story tells me that no matter what, nothing can stop me from achieving my dreams.

The thing is growing up makes me feel like i have to limit my dreams, because suddenly a dream is not just something you daydream about but it's a choice you have to make, a choice that will determine not just your own fate but your own family's.            If you ask my 7 year old self, "What is your dream?." she'll answer in her high pitched voice that her dream is to be an international goal keeper, or a witch, or a princess. It's a wonderful thing dream is especially to a kid because to them, it's not just a dream it is a goal for them that they actually believe one day they can achieve them, there are some people in this world that are lucky enough to ac...
