Rosalina Oktavia suffered a minor knee injury in 2009 after a motorbike accident. Six years later, in 2015, she underwent a minor operation to fix the damaged tendon on her left knee. The surgeon mistakenly cut her left leg's major vein during the operation, and despite her recovery, she could not feel her left leg or her toes. Unfortunately, all their efforts were in vain and she became an amputee at age 24. Initially feeling depressed, Oktavia realized that life continued and she had no choice but to adapt. She decided to focus on what she could do, think positively, and live a happy life.
