Alex was running on a treadmill and listening to a textbook. She needed to catch up on the schooling she had missed. Thanks to the disease she had, she hadn't been able to understand a lot when she was a child. She remembered that her parents took her out of middle school and tried homeschooling her at a slower pace. Her parents had been so kind and patient with her. She was glad to remember everything so vividly, any knowledge she had back then could help her today, even if she didn't understand then, she did now.<br/><br/>But she was still behind, so it was good that now she was learning at such a fast pace, all because she was wearing this suit. If she wasn't, she'd be stuck in a hospital bed barely recognizing what was going on around her. Without the strength to even open her eyes. But now she could workout, run, she could even do sports if she felt like it. She could remember that in school she had to sit by herself and watch the other kids play sports. She hadn't known that there were rules or anything, she just saw them having fun and wanted to join in, but she hadn't been allowed to.<br/><br/>Alex thought back to a moment when she wanted to ask her mother, why she wouldn't let her do the things other kids did, but Alex lost her train of thought mid sentence. Alexandria's mother just hugged her and said<span style="font-style: italic">Just know that I love you, and that I will always love you.</span>Tears were starting to form under Alex's eyes but she wiped them away. She knew now, the reason was because she was a lot weaker and more fragile than everyone else. But not anymore, she started to run harder, pushing her limits.<span style="color: #40FFFF"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">"I am now stronger, faster, and so much more competent than I have ever been before."</span></span></span>She said not caring who heard her. She did one more hard sprint then stopped the treadmill, turned off the recorder, took out her earbuds, and went to get some water.
