However, learning certain dances was not an easy feat for Megan due to her condition.
“Some of the dance moves are fast and challenging, and I couldn’t catch the tempo. It was very difficult and I needed more encouragement to not give up,” she said.
Her mother Jasmine Lai said it was a proud moment to see her child on the national stage.
“This feeling is very strong for us because we have seen what Megan has gone through in the past. There were times she has told us that she just wanted to give up and didn’t want to try any more.
“The moment we saw her on the screen, we thought that Megan has really transformed into a young lady. It was also at this moment we felt that dancing is the right choice for her to pursue.”
After starring on the national stage, Megan hopes to achieve her dreams of becoming a dance instructor and dancing on a global stage.
Mdm Lai said that she hopes people will understand Megan and others like her through the parade and her performance.
“I feel that people will understand Megan is actually like everyone else and she is able to pursue her dreams with the determination that she has. She can tell her story in her own way, and be able to inspire others.”
