little bit about me:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m 15 years old and paralyzed from a staph infection a year ago. Just trying to have some fun. I love to make videos and edit. them I also love beauty, fashion, hair and so much more. I hope my channel can show you a little bit about my life. I hope that videos inspire you and just really help you get through your day, one day at a time. I love you guys and hope to see you in the next video!!
Girl, the algorithm loves you today. Your original story time was recommended to me, then so was this one, and here I am. 🤩
Same here but 2 wks later it showing up in my recommendations. 😊. Awesome!
mee too !!! Glad I watched! Sydney, you have such a lovely spirit and a true heart!
Yes! Same here!
Same here
Me too
I just watched your story about being paralyzed and I looked at you channel and saw you just posted this video! you are an amazing person, thank you for sharing with us💗 hope you have an amazing 2022
Same. I didn’t even search for it. It just popped up and I found it interesting. So I followed to her channel and saw she had just posted this 32 minutes ago.
Same!!! Literally just watched that same video!
Same here!!!
Same here 😄
I am so happy to see that Sydney is getting new subscribers to her channel. She is such a sweet and intelligent young lady. She’s been through a lot and has handled it with grace. I hope she’ll get a million subs or more. Look out for her clothing line, single soul, she has some really gorgeous clothes.
When you talk about everything going to be okay….. when I was 20 years old, my mom was in a car accident that left her in a coma for 2 months. When she awoke, her personality was very different. I remember being so upset. I couldn’t accept any explanation I came up with as to why this happened. One day I was complaining to my dad about it. Saying maybe mom should have died. I will never forget his answer. He said he is so glad mom didn’t die. It’s okay. That life is short and his job is to take care of her and someday she will be made perfect in heaven and he can wait. Well! That made everything okay after that. Somehow his words healed me. It actually has made every obstacle in my life okay. Life is to learn how to love. That is the test
Praying for you and your mom and dad 🙏🕊️
Wow Best Wishes to you and your family
YOU describing your Dad's AND your Mom's and your experience
BLESSED me SO very , very much !
I totally understand what you mean about a changed personality post-coma. It happened to my best friend and college roommate. I remember how hard it was and I pray for you and your family.
We
“I still got this but I’ve got this in a different way” WOW girl! You are a gem. I’ve been encouraged by this vid and the “how I” story that popped up on my suggestions.
"A different life, but still an amazing life" WOW. I have a severe mental illness and I constantly wish I was "normal" and didn't have all of the challenges and emotions that I have to deal with. This quote is so inspiring and is making me look at things differently. It makes me think that I need to give up the notion and desire to be normal... and have a Different, but still an Amazing life. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and outlook.
definitely was a hard thing to accept but once you do you realize normal is overrated:)
Normal is over rated!! I am physically handicapped as well, but I still have a amazing, wonderful life! We can take heart that the pain we endure here is temporary, for God is faithful to see us through...I give all the credit to Jesus Christ, who came to save the world. He saved me in a huge way! I will be grateful and blessed for eternity...❤
I am paralyzed from the knees down , , and I have Spina Bifida, I love that I can experience way more things in life than able bodied people . I love listening to you speak , you really should go all over and be a modivational speaker. Live life to the fullest, :)
Don’t worry about how often you say “like”. 😉 You are being YOU and that’s what we LIKE! ❤️
As a 30yo woman who was disabled at 20, I really appreciate hearing about your journey thus far. I completely understand what you mean about how you wouldn't necessarily choose this situation but don't regret the process of becoming who you are. I still sometimes mourn the opportunities and experiences I didn't have as a function of my illness, but I'm also shamelessly proud of who I've become. I'm a firm believer that bad/traumatic things aren't "meant to be", but I do believe that terrible events can push us to do incredible things. And although my life didn't follow the trajectory I thought it would, I am still growing and improving and achieving in my own way. Seeing you reflect so eloquently on your experience is inspiring to me even 10 years on. It's true that things DO get better. Maybe not in exactly the way we expect, but there are so many ways for life to be good.
I'm sorry you are disabled. :( Bad and traumatic things are only a part of our experience because our world is under the curse of man's sin. But God sent his Son to die to bear the punishment of the sins of all those who would trust in him. Please turn from your sins and ask God to forgive your sins because of Christ's sacrifice.
Everybody...paralyzed or not has bad days... I admire you for looking at life positively and pushing forward
I am slowly going paralyzed and have been in an electic wheelchair. You're story is amazing and how you handle it is awesome. God bless you. You are an inspiration to me and I am so impressed with your attitude and self confidence. We will walk again this life is short. I'm sure you are an inspiration to many. I hope you do everything in life you plan and I pray you stay as strong as you are. God bless your heart.
My 8yr old daughter has cerebral palsy and also had a right hemispherectomy when she was a baby... so her left side has been paralyzed since she was born. She started walking recently with a walker and then a cane... now she can take a few steps alone. She loves to watch videos about other younger people like her. So thank you for sharing ❤
Your " how I became paralyzed overnight" popped up on my feed. You are an amazing young woman. Great things will happen for you, thank you for sharing your story.
I’m absolutely amazed at your intelligence, maturity, wisdom, strength and positivity. Much love.
One of my friends from high school experienced a spinal cord stroke when she was young and had to navigate her youth so differently than the rest of our class. She just graduated college and from the outside looking in, it looks like she absolutely crushed it. Her college experience seemed to be so full of life and the same as her other peers. You’ve got this, your path may be different but you can do anything you want!
I'm one of those who just watched your vid from 1.5 years ago. It was recommended and I'm glad it was. I bet your parents are so, so proud of you.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. My daughter is quadriplegic, and this helps (in a way) to understand how she feels. God bless you!!
Honestly,,you have insight beyond your years. You are truly an inspiration!!
I, also, just came across your video that explained how you became paralyzed. Unbelievable, but it happened to you. You're an incredibly strong, positive and vibrant person. How wonderful that you're sharing story and working so hard to give your life purpose as well as inspire others. The best of all things to you! You are definitely a winner!
You're tough as hell and from your story it looks like you've been tough even before the spinal indury. I don't know where do people like you come from but truth is you'd shine regardless of any shit life would or would not throw at you and this is a one in a billion chance of being that kind of person
This is actually the nicest comment! Thank you!
I never knew people who were paralyzed could possibly walk again...that is so cool and inspiring to know! I was hit by a car last year and had to relearn how to walk properly while using a walker for a couple months, and it was so hard to deal with everything taking longer and being more complicated to do. I'm glad you are healing and feeling happy, Sydney; your story is so inspiring!!!
You're looking so good Sydney! I am very happy to hear that you're making progress and moving forward with your life. I am so proud of you :)
My husband lost the use of his legs and in a wheelchair. After all the medical, we started physical therapy but I felt he needed more. I got him to a gym and a personal trainer. It took several months and baby steps. His muscles were gaining strength. He is now walking, not great, but he is walking with a brace on left leg. His left foot doesn’t work but race helps. This is just an idea for you.
you GO GIRL Absolutely love the positivity flowing in this video. Keep up the great work.
Girl I think you might be the most positive person I’ve ever heard speak in my 34 years on this planet. I’m so glad your old video from a year ago popped up in my recommended bcuz I needed these positive vibes! At such a young age you are so emotionally mature it is truly amazing. And not to mention you are SO strong! Happy new year, I know you will make 2022 your best year yet! 💕
I love this update . I’ve been waiting for it. So proud of you. You’re helping others you don’t even know. Keep it up 👍 🙏
I found your channel a couple of days ago and I have already seen a lot of your videos. I admire your strenght and your braveness, you're so mature for your young age. Thank you for sharing your story, you're truly amazing
You are such an upbeat positive young lady. I am glad your recovery has gone so well.
found this video on my feed, but I'm happy hearing that you're feeling good about yourself, living your life and making progress towards recovery.
Your story popped up on my feed today and I am so glad it did. You have such a healthy outlook about life. You're good. You've got this thing called life. God bless you and your endevors.
Your 1,5 years update vid just popped up in my flow and it was so interesting and horrifying at the same time. Thank you for sharing your story, your personality and positivity I’m sure will help someone else in a similar situation.
Your original story popped up to me and I was so happy to see you just posted an update! You are so inspiring to me! You are so genuine and really are full of lessons for the rest of us thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you so much for posting your videos about your life and your recovery. I teach medical assisting to high school juniors and seniors so your video came up when I was searching for information on the nervous system and paralysis.
I really am impressed with your drive and attitude as I know how difficult it can be as a teenager with physical challenges--I've had severe asthma my entire life and as a teen, I was hooked up to a nebulizer machine most days of my senior year. I remember taking my meds for 30 minutes straight and repeatedly all evening long just to manage my prom night. It's easy to get frustrated when you are faced with challenges that your friends aren't and you just somehow power through and find the bright spot in your day and a reason for welcoming the next day.
You're 100% right, you will be okay, and your life will be magnificent because you'll make it that way. As an adult, I have traveled the world, literally climbed mountains (with lots of meds and training), had so many phenomenal experiences with incredible people who I never would have met if I'd stayed in my comfort zone and not taken risks. Best of luck to you in all of your future endeavors and I wish you much joy and success in your business and your advocacy! You are a rockstar! : )
Sydney! It is such a pleasure to see you smiling and doing so well! Keep going darling, you are such an inspiration for many of us! ❤
I just watched your story and followed it up with this video. What an AMAZING young woman! You have so much strength and persistence ... an your mental outlook, indescribable!!!! You have such a bright future ahead of you no matter what you do!!! I hope to be able to follow your story for a long time to come. Sending love and prayers!!! 💞💞
Saw your OG story today as well and now watching this!!! Thank you youtube for pushing Miss Sydney on the algorithm today!
Amazing story! You’ve been through more than many adults can handle and have a more mature and positive attitude than most. I hope you fully recover and achieve all your life’s goals 🙏👌
I’m so glad you posted an update on your condition. Seeing you now being just as positive as you were in your last video doesn’t surprise me. You’ve grown so much and still just as beautiful. So happy you’re living your best life and still fighting to walk. I do believe everything happens for a reason. You have so much to look forward to. You’re life is just starting so keep pushing through. Wether you walk again or not you’ll still have everything you want and need living your best life. Keep up the great work. You’re amazing and a true inspiration to others.
Your video from 1.5 years ago was recommended to me and then I saw this one and was like oh my gosh, she's grown up now! hahah. I had to watch the update video. Love your positivity. Wishing you all the best and sounds like you're making progress everyday. Good on you.
You have an amazing support. It's so evident in your recovery. No one knows the future but God has you. You are really so level headed. 💓
I truly admire how you speak about the mental health aspect of your journey and even say that you do have bad days. I hope and pray that you continue the best version of yourself and your journey whatever that may be!!
It’s a miracle how far you’ve come. I can see the progress and would bet you will walk again sooner than you think.
I feel so sad that you were paralyzed in the first place, but I am so inspired by your thoughts about it happening for a reason. So happy for all those people that you have helped and will help. It is amazing how excited you are about going to college etc. I wish you much happiness.
I just watched that video this morning!! So good to see you truly being happy, and making progress. It genuinely is inspirational to me to see you so full of joy. You’re amazing ❤️
Going straight from the video of how you got paralyzed to this one is a big shock because you’ve grown up so much. I love your videos. I love your style. You really are such a positive person.!
You are such an inspiration. Your attitude through all of your struggles is truly amazing. You would be great at motivational speaking. What a blessing it has been to come a crossed your story and your videos.
your story is affecting so many people so i understand what you mean when you say you would not change being paralyzed - much love to you
Your story is SO inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story and showing real happiness in spite of the circumstances! You are loved by many!!
You’re so right!!!
I am amazed at how well you explained everything in your first video about how you became paralyzed and how calm you stayed. Every movement and new action is a milestone and thankfully modern medicine/therapy/orthosis makes it so much better for SCIs. As a physical therapist assistant, I just wish you the best in life in general, keep doing what you’re doing and continue to share your story!
Your story is amazing and the fact that you overcame the way that you have is awesome !!! Thanks for sharing and hope that everything goes well !!! Love from Greece!!!
you are such an inspiring person!! your positivity is incredible + infectious!! no matter what happens I know you will make a great life for yourself and will continue to do what you seem to do best
*keep going and push through*
You are truly amazing. I cannot wait to see what else you achieve in your life. I see you helping a lot of people with your career
Your story is amazing!!! I love how positive you are. Fight for your walking girl you are inspiring ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how positive you are! it's very difficult to have a positive mindset in a situation like this. I tore my acl and had to have it surgically repaired, and while that went well, the nerve block completely shut down my quad muscles for about 3 weeks which pretty much didn't let me move that leg at all. so I get what you mean by how it feels to try to move your leg but nothing happens. it is the most surreal and frustrating feeling, like you know what to do but your body forgot how. I was nowhere near as positive as you are about it, and mine was only temporary. I've definitely been humbled. I wish the best for you and I'm glad I found your channel, you're a very entertaining person with a fun personality!
Your an amazing person. I wish I had your positivity, you have made me realise you can overcome anything with the right positive attitude. Thank you for sharing. Many blessings for 2022 and your journey forward 💖
You are such an inspiration to so many. I have never seen someone so young have such a wonderful outlook on life. You are so Special!
I love how positive and logical you are at such a young age everyday is a different battle and you are crushing it keep it up sweetheart your doing AMAZING 💓
Just discovered your first 1-1/2 video last night and woke up to this video. Your progress is amazing . You are a beautiful person with a beautiful spirit and healthy outlook at such a young age. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story.
i’m applying to med school this year and came across your other video which left me in tears, but i’m glad you made some progress!
Just watched your video of three years ago, I had to listen. Being retired from orthotics, making braces, etc. It’s great to hear that you’ve got some return, I hope that continues. Are you taking vitamin D for keeping strong bones. And there’s other vitamins for spinal injury. Bracing can be good for circulation, and better for your internal system. You have a beautiful personality, I’ll be following your progress. Thanks for getting your story out there, I think you will help others.
I watched your first how i got paralyzed yesterday... been binging since!! you're so motivating and positive it makes me want to change my life around. I'm not paralyzed but I have invisible disabilities main one being a heart condition so I can still relate to some of it in a different way. You're so mature for your age, I guess half of it is down to what you've been through but half of it is your shining personality. You're absolutely right you have got this but in a different way... keep doing you!! you're amazing. edit; just wanted to add you seem so much more happier than in your first video!
Thank you for sharing your story. We are sharing similar issues with being incomplete paraplegics. Mine was caused by a blood clot during or right after a spinal surgery and left me paralyzed from the hips down. I am at 2 1/2 years and I have heat, cold, touch and movement. Some strength, good strength in my left leg and some strength in my right leg. I am working on getting a new wheelchair that fits me. I’ve been using a transport chair from Walmart since the day I got out of the hospital so and I’m also trying to get more physical therapy I got new insurance as of this new year, my old insurance was just too difficult to get physical therapy so hopefully I’ll be up walking right behind you. stay strong
wow your story almost brings me to tears hearing how you have overcome this and you are a inspiration to so many people. My friend just died of cancer last wednesday and watching you being so positive and strong about such a hard situation is really encouraging. God has a plan for all of is and thank you so much for being a inspiration❤️.
I send you much courage to get through it 💞
You and your positive attitude are certainly a blessing and encouragement to everyone who knows you or sees your videos. May God bless you and may you always see those blessings especially when things are difficult. Hugs young lady!
you are so upbeat and uplifting. it's amazing listening to your story and your attitude. incredible
I've been watching your channel a few weeks now, you're actually only one of the ten I'm subscribed to. You are such an inspirational and positive person. I like how you started a business, I am an entrepreneur myself and actually cannot verbally communicate because of anxiety but hope to continue to do better.
thank you for your support and your kind words! wish you nothing but the best!
RUclips recommended your original video to me and I was so happy when I saw that you recently posted this update! I can tell that you've grown and matured so much since then and there's no doubt that you have a bright future ahead of you
Same here
Your soul is beautiful and you are beautiful. I love how your brand represents your journey plus so many others even if its not being paralyzed. Each and everyone of us are a single soul and you make me see how beautiful it is when we all come together. You inspire me so much, you are amazing. 🌻✨🦋
Way to go, girl! The "club" of being a person with a disability is the ONLY club that ANYone can join at any time in their lives. We are all one illness, injury, or accident away from becoming a full-fledged member. Love your story.
Congratulations on how far you’ve come!! Also- your other video is at 900k views right now, congratulations!! I’m so excited to follow you and continue to see you heal & share your contagious positivity!
my mom is paralyzed on the left side from the neck down and has been my whole life. thank you for sharing your story
Your original video from a year ago brought me here and I came to see if there’s any progress. I’m rooting for you so much. I hope to continue to see the progress you make.
Its so nice to see your update on the progress you are making, I only watched your video on how you became paralyzed a short time ago. I can relate too the thoughts you have been having regarding having to grow up and meeting people you may never of meet if it was not for the unfortunate event that led to your paralysation. So pleased you have gained strength in one leg. keep up the good work and at times I know it can be frustrating. I know with my experience the five years it took me had made me a far better person. Its fifty five years since i learnt to walk again but do not be surprised if you have the occasional fall or have to give your self longer in the mornings too gain balance. can I say if you use a leg brace you should still try to walk with out it on at times, Keeping the other leg moving will help to keep up some muscle and increase the chance of some feeling returning. One thing that often happens to me even now is I often bash my legs some times just ending in a bruising my leg but also cutting my leg and not even knowing about it until I fill stickiness on my foot, even now i have great difficulty moving backwards and it is impossible for me to go backwards down stairs. I do hope you will read my comment on the original post, good luck in passing your test, you have won my admiration on the way you have been able to cope (although i know you have no choice) but you video can help to inspire others so thank you,
Your story just popped up for me. You go girl do the damn thing!!! You are AMAZING
Your soul is beautiful and you are beautiful. I love how your brand represents your journey pls so man others even if its not being paralyzed. Each and everyone of us are single soul and you make me see how beautiful it is when we all come together. You inspire me so much, you are amazing. 🌻✨🦋
An amazing outlook, I came here from your first video, nothing but respect for you.Good luck in your driving test, and good luck with the recovery.
i love your positivity and everything about you! i wish you the best in life🤍
You're an inspiration and so very positive. Thanks for the update and keep growing and living your best life!
As a 26 year old female, I can certainly say you are wise beyond your years. It's truly amazing to hear your story and see how positive you have been from day one. Mindset, outlook and perspective truly is key. Thank you for being an inspiration and sharing your bright light. The world truly needs more beautiful people like yourself. God Bless you Sydney
You are an amazing and beautiful person inside and out. You are so positive and mature. I first watched your video a while ago, that video when you were still 13 and you were narrating how you got paralyzed and I was like wow you spoke maturely and so articulate and hopeful about the future. You inspire me. I have a health issue also, and you inspire me to look more deeply on the life lessons that I got as I navigate through it. I wish you well in your endeavors.💖
You are completely amazing! Beautiful inside and out. Your mental strength is inspiring and powerful. Thank you for being you and sharing yourself.
I just watched this 2 year old video and I just want to say that I am so proud of you! I am soooo happy for you that you "got this" & I wish the very best for you! ❤❤❤
I’m so proud of the strength an amazing job your doing keep it up Sydney
You are so inspiring and your upbeat attitude has a lot to do with your getting well. thank you for sharing this, you’re going to go far in life. 🌟
Thanks Sarah, was wondering how you were doing and I it seems like you are fantastic! Your an amazing girl, keep doing whatever it is you want to do ! The world can’t wait to see what you have in your future🥰
Keep going girl! You are bright and amazing can’t wait to see what you will accomplish ♥️
Just think where you will be in another 3 years!! You are definitely an inspiration to more than one❤️
Such a good update!! I saw the video you mentioned about 4 weeks ago. Finally got around to watching this video :) you do have your whole life ahead of you.
I have no clue why your video popped up for me today but I have no doubt you will walk again. Your energy is infectious and for that to have happened to you at just 13 and the way you took it on like just another challenge… just wow. You are amazing and I look forward to your updates
You explain yourself so we'll, this has made you so aware of everything you have to do to live your life, you are showing people to see how life can throw you a curve ball and to see how you deal with it, you are growing spiritually knowing you have such awareness and keeping the positive coming, your a earth angel without your wings
thank you!!
Congratulations on all your triumph and success! Wishing you greatness in all you pursue.
I just started watching your amazing story! It is so inspiring, and I am extremely glad that you are progressing so well!!❤️
thank you!
Awwww your such an inspiration! I hope you pass your test, that’s great news, I wish you all the best.
Thanks for the update and glad you are doing well being YOU. ☺️
i was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis unexpectedly last year, made a video about it. i haven't dealt with many of the physical manifestations yet, but i really relate to the uncertainty part being the most difficult -- my vision of my future is different and way more up in the air now. but i do think things happen for a reason and the perspective shift has been really necessary for me -- i've stopped wasting so much time on stuff that doesn't make me happy. all the best to you!! so much wisdom here!
Came across your video & makes me appreciate everything I have in my life! Wishing you many blessings, stay amazing as you are 🥰
You are wise beyond your years and are such an inspiration to us all!!
You deserve an extraordinary life because you are an extraordinary person! Your resilience is so admirable and I think there will be so many young people out there with injury or illness that will find you so inspirational ❤️
This is so cool!! I love seeing your progress and updates. Your smile makes me happy to watch you every time
RUclips algorithm led me to your video about how you got paralyzed, which I just watched last night. You are wise beyond your years. Wishing you much love and strength with regards to your recovery. Will keep on watching your channel for updates.
You are so amazing. Super inspiring! Keep going girl you are one of a kind gem
Youre very cool. Also a great communicator with an outstanding perspective on things. I also really enjoy when you use the word "literally" at times when its not really necessary (thats the best). Best of luck on everything in the future, keep us posted : )
