He has just inspired me so much. You would have to be an idiot to think that asthma isn't a big deal. Apart from your mother always spazzing about it, you also can't participate in certain activities in gym class, even if you're in good physical shape you know yourself you can do it. I have an active lifestyle, and I aspire to be a police officer, but my brother just told me that it's impossible for me to be a cop because I have asthma. Honestly, it was like a slap to the face. I couldn't believe he said it. I obviously don't believe him, because really, he's an idiot, but it did really get to me. And I'm just grateful to see such a successful athlete being able to cope with something like this. Can you imagine not being able to breath? It feels like you're throat is closing off, it's like you're suffocating within yourself. And on top of that, I cough so much during an attack I wouldn't even have a chance if I COULD breath, because the coughs are so violent. I ALWAYS have to have my inhaler with me wherever I go, because sometimes an attack can come out of no where, not just from physical activity.
