Every time I start to believe I'm sort of tough (yes, it does happen), it's quite a reality check to read about people like Monica Albright. Some people have a fighting spirit that is simply beyond words.
And what do we do? Complain that the bus is late, or that we have a sore knee, or that we have to go to work every morning, or that someone took our place in the line...?
Story:
"She's got a spirit that can't be broken."
On May 7, the day before Mother's Day last year, Monica Albright and her mother were in an auto accident in which their vehicle exploded. Monica's mother died in the accident. More than 80 percent of Monica's body was burned. She lost both legs, and the fingers of her left hand had to be removed.
Less than a year later, she's walking again and has a positive outlook on her life and what the future may bring.
After seeing an article about a person getting into martial arts after losing their legs, Monica has decided that she too wants to get back into practicing her martial arts skills. She now can see that nothing can hold her back from accomplishing her dreams.
