Bethany Hamilton was a surfing prodigy and was destined for amazing things.
When she was 13 years old, the Hawaii native was attacked by a tiger shark and lost her entire left arm. However, at this moment, where most people would completely give up, she didn’t lose sight of her dreams.
She has always wanted to be a professional surfer, and she was back on the board less than a month after the accident. Not only is this admirably brave, but it just shows anything is possible.
Bethany Hamilton is now in her twenties and a pro surfer.
The takeaway of the story:
No matter what, believe in yourself, even when no one does.
