Before leaving for class this morning I turned on the news to see what was going on today. I watched a brief news report over a woman who lost her left leg in an amputation yesterday.
She was one of the 260 people injured during the bombing that occurred during the Boston Marathon last year. Since then she has had 17 different surgeries to try to heal her leg, but all of them were unsuccessful and she finally decided to have it removed. She has been posting about the surgeries and experience over social media sites and many people have been following her on her journey.
The most admirable thing about the story was how positive she was throughout the whole experience. I feel like when people experience tragedies they can either be destroyed by them or come out much stronger. She even got a pedicure before her last surgery and called it “the Last Supper.” In my opinion, people who undergo tragedies and come out a more positive person are definitely people to look up to.
