The Childhood of Nick Vujicic:
The childhood of Nick Vujicic was not a very good one I'd like to say that he had a very nice childhood and his life was great but I cannot because it was far from it. The moment that he was born his parents were absolutely shocked to see that their son had no arms or legs. His father (Boris Vujicic)was so distraught that he left the hospital room to vomit and his mother (Duska Vujicic) couldn't bring herself to hold Nick for a long 4 months, imagine yourself as a child and having your mother refusing to even touch you. After a time his parents got over their emotional distress and tried to do their best for their son Nick. According to NIck, had he been born in a third world country, his condition might have been considered a curse or a shame by his parents and he might have been killed at birth. He was born in Melbourne, Australia and later moved to Brisbane, Australia where he lived for 14 years before he moved to California. His parents decided not to send him to a school for kids with disabilities and they sent him to a mainstream school instead. At the age of 8 Nick didn't see a very good future ahead of him and at the age of 10 he attempted to drown himself in the bathtub but after several attempts he realised that he did not want to burden his loved ones with the guilt and sadness of his death. When he was 15 he sealed his faith in God and from there he started to think of the things he had instead of what he did not. When he was in high school he met a janitor who inspired him to start speaking his faith and overcoming his adversity at the age of 17. |
