Children overcoming the odds

Tweet

In these days of doom, gloom and bad news around us everyday about children being abused or killed by their parents, there are often many children who manage to overcome any problems that they may face. I thought that it would be good to hear some feel good stories about children overcoming the odds whether big or small, as I am sure that nearly everyone knows a child that has managed it. I for one have my own story about my daughter who i took to see a specialist at the age of two because she walked with both her feet turned in. I was told that there was nothing that they could do for her at the time as she was too young. He also said that she would never be able to play sports because of her feet. Now 9 years later she now is the double national champion in her judo group, competes for our local athletics club and also plays for the school netball and football teams. I would love to see that Doctor and say 'look, she proved you wrong.' So how about you do you know of a child that has overcome the odds. I would love to hear your story.
