Jenna was a ten year old girl that was paralyzed from the
waist down. She was always really nice and considerate of others. She loved to
play sports and help around the house, but some times she got frustrated with
her big wheel chair because it was in her way.
When people would pity her or feel sorry for her she would tell them of her good
doings and then if she felt up to it she would show them an example.
One day when she was at the doctor's office for her monthly checkup, the doctor
told her there was a good chance that she could start walking after a three
series surgery. As soon as she heard that she began to smile her biggest smile.
She would finally have her chance to be normal.
Exactly a month later the first surgery took place. Although it was long, it was
a success. Every day she would feel better. Like she was gaining muscles in her
legs.
Then came the second and then soon the third. Finally her legs were strong and
she went to therapy. Within two weeks she could walk with a walker. And within
four months she could walk by herself. When all was done and she was walking,
and even running, she said, "It was a long wait, but well worth it!"
And so she went on and became a runner in the Olympics, and won the gold medal. |
