I still didn\u2019t have a diagnosis, so I just had to push through. It was a real struggle to complete coursework and sit exams in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was diagnosed in March, which is the same month that Covid hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s around the time I lost my vision. From March to October the following year, I was unable to do anything. My grandad came to visit me in hospital and then two months later, he died from Covid. It was a very tough time mentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zeeshan, who lives in Pudsey with his mother and two younger brothers, had already experienced intense grief in his early life, after his father died (aged just 40) when he was 13. Now he was faced with another life-altering moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust after I got the diagnosis, that was my worst time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;There was a day when I just didn\u2019t want to be here any more, but part of the reason I carried on is my religion. I\u2019m a Muslim and we believe all tests come from god, so If this is my test, then I have to overcome it, and so I carried on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>He still suffers frequent relapses, where he loses motor function, and he has also been diagnosed with optic neuritis (where swelling damages the nerves) in both eyes, and doctors say his condition will only get worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But he remains resilient, and hopeful. For his final year project, he designed an android fitness app to monitor calorie intake and track BMI, along with other data, and he now trains six days a week in the gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBefore the diagnosis, I was very active &#8211; I used to box, play football and go to the gym &#8211; and had a very busy social life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I went from that to, basically, being inactive, and staying inside and not seeing anyone, so it was very demoralising. But even during that time, I was trying to do what I could. I would do press-ups in my room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Now, I train in the gym six days a week. My condition is incurable but the goal is to slow down the relapses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to Zeeshan\u2019s \u2018never give up\u2019 attitude &#8211; and support from the university &#8211; he graduated with a first in July, and is now looking forward to a break before he begins a new bout of treatment, after which he says he intends to look for work, either as a data analyst or software engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/zeeshan_hussain_rs_22-1024x842.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45794\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added: \u201cMy view is that everyone has struggles in life, so I don\u2019t think I\u2019m that special really. If I can show others that life problems can be overcome, then I will be happy. If you just take things one step at a time, one day at a time, you can achieve anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his time at the University Zeeshan was supported by colleagues on his programme team and by individuals from across student services to ensure that support was put in place that enabled him to continue with his studies and, ultimately, succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apostol Vourdas, Head of Department of Computer Science, said: &#8220;Zeeshan is a great inspiration for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDespite many health and other problems, he graduated with a first class degree. His strength of character and \u2018never give up\u2019 attitude is a great lesson for all of us. We are very proud to have students like Zeeshan.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At 23-years-old, University of Bradford graduate Zeeshan Hussain has already overcome more struggles in life than most.
