Long-covid made me decide to become an entrepreneur

[Rachie]

Hi everyone,

My name is Rachel Gerarts, I am 21 years old and live in the Netherlands.
As the title says I am/was a semi-pro tabletennisplayer, but in October 2020 I got Covid. At first everything seemed fine, but soon I experienced it was not. Because there isn’t a working treatment yet I had many ups and downs to where I am today. 21 years old, not being able to play tabletennis anymore. Heck, even an hour of walking is too much for my body at the moment. Also having some cognitive issues. Because it is hard to say when and if I will fully recover I started to think about the future.
I have never been the person for the standard school route, but ofcourse my enviroment is all about that, with people asking when I start school again (I took 2 years of to play tabletennis, unfortunately the same moment covid came into play and then I got it)
I was going insane that i’m kinda stuck to the house, but then it hit me.....
I will turn this into a positive and educate myself. So I started reading. Yesterday...
And miraculously the first book I read was the millionare fastlane.
Now I am commited to use this time well and built my own life, in the way I want it.

Thank you for reading my story, I am a very introvert person and these things can be difficult for me. I hope I didn‘t overshare.

Goodluck to everyone and we can do this!

Welcome Rachel, wishing you better health soon!! And kudos for the intro, as an introvert myself I know stepping in front of the class can be difficult.
