Flying without wings is inspired by my experience as a  volunteer in a cancer hospital. I met children who, despite being  strung by the constraints of cancer, still remained positive and made the best out of their situation. I was awe-struck by their  resilience; I felt like they were flying even though cancer had  clipped off their wings . thus the title.As a child I always dreamed of writing a book. A dream which  hadn’t materialised until now. When it came to choosing my final  MYP project I was certain that I wanted to write a book.I felt strongly about chronic and terminal diseases, because  many of the people around me were subject to diseases like  Cancer, Autoimmune diseases, etc. I saw that they not only suffered as they battled with the disease, but also struggled to get  other people to understand what they were going through. As a  result I decided to narrate the story of a young girl going through a  disease. I wanted to show the physical and emotional turmoil that  a patient goes through, in the hope that we can better understand  how it feels to be in their shoes, and as a result be able to help and  support them better.  The process of writing this book has been a milestone for me . This book took me on an exhilarating journey from understanding  the dynamics of writing to an exhaustive research on the subject  matter. It was a truly enjoyable learning experience. Having the  constraint of a deadline was the only limiting factor while I wrote.  Otherwise it was a thrilling roller coaster ride.  Time for acknowledgements. I would like to thank some people, who made this book possible.
