Just watching pride of Britain which recognises peoples bravery & courage. There was a 13 year old girl who was a normal toddler until she contracted meningitis she was so ill that she was put on 48 hour death watch. Her illness robbed her of both legs from the knee down and both hands, it's a miracle to see her cope and with a smile on her face. This girl is so determined to live a normal life that she has taken to the swimming pool and won several gold medals in her group. Her ambition is to participate in the para Olympics of 2016. I hope she gets her wish. What do think drives people like this through adversity.

The strong wills to live and the ability to cope with adversity, she may not have both legs, but she still has the passion for life, the love of God, and the optimistic outlook despite the adversity that rob her so much from life. She is one hell of a fighter and possess strong character in her. It is rare to see person like her in today world where most of the people will probably give up hope and cry out loud.

For me if it is there dreams why not gave them a hundred percent yes so that there life would be meaning full but nothing that if they don't worship the only true God Jehovah.

I watched it and it showed me how lucky i am and though i moan a lot my life in reality is very easy.I watched it with my mum and we both decided to try and stop taking what we have got for granted.Im going to try and make the most of my talents and skills like she has.The tales of bravery also challenged me by making me think if i was in a simmilar situation would i do the same thing especially the woman and the level crossing.

Likewise. It won't stop me complaining but I know that I do and will complain on others behalf.
As to the woman taxi driver removing the dazed driver from her crashed car on the level crossing and then removing the car I would have done the same thing and then called myself an idiot!!!
