Alma Chopra, Cerebral Ataxia Survivor and Motivational Speaker

Alma Chopra is a motivational speaker, blogger, and YouTuber with a personal story to contribute to the betterment of others’ lives, as well as touching many lives with her exceptional capacity to see light in the dark. She had little control over her motions as a Cerebellar Ataxia patient and had to rely on others for assistance. Despite physical difficulties, psychological pain, and cultural ridicule, she forged a path for herself and demonstrated that disability is really a mental state.

At the age of ten, Alma Chopra was diagnosed with cerebellar ataxia. Damage to the cerebellum, the region of the brain responsible for movement coordination, causes this nervous system disorder. Alma initially kept her health a secret from her pals. Being a teenager growing up at 14, it’s not cool being different and growing up with a disability in a suburban American city. Everyone wants to look the same, to wear the same clothes, to be slender, and so on. She chose not to inform anyone about her symptoms because they were minimal at the time.

Despite the hurdles posed by this debilitating disease, Alma has earned honors degrees in psychology, English, and Spanish, as well as a law degree from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, one of the greatest legal schools in that country. She engaged in athletics, got a distinction for her growth in the arts, graduated from Case Western Reserve University, and went on to seek her master’s in law thanks to her unwavering tenacity and unwavering fortitude.

Alma has always been an energetic person, so she talks about it with the same zeal and urges others to do the same. Alma went through a tough journey and battled the odds after being diagnosed with acute degenerative cerebellar ataxia. She is now an outspoken supporter of disability awareness. She inspires many people with her motivational talks and journey because she has the bravery to serve others despite her own physical constraints.
