Channel 4′s Born To Be Different returned to catch up with a group of disabled children who’ve had their lives captured on camera since they were born, as they turn 16.
The show reunited three of the original six families to give a glimpse into the joys, and heartbreaks, of raising children with different disabilities.
The first episode of two included William Davies who has tuberous sclerosis, causing tumours all over his body, Shelbie Williams who has Triomy 9-P, a disorder that has left her mentally and physically disabled, and Zoe Frew who has arthrogryposis, a condition affecting her limbs.
Viewers were particularly humbled by Zoe’s positive attitude and maturity, despite the difficulties she’s faced.
She even had a few quotes we could all learn from…
Encouraged by the head teacher, Zoe made a speech in front of her school to apply to be head girl.
She was made Deputy Head Girl and Twitter was bursting with pride. We all have high hopes for her future…
Go Zoe.
