The day of Thanksgiving was the day of truth. Cause even though once your on the board it seems all you need is your feet and hips, but getting on the board was a challenge. She would have to hold on the the board all she could to swim under the wave, then all of her strength in her right arm to push herself up. After many failed attempts, brutal wipe-outs, and thoughts of giving up she was finally able to do. Bethany could surf with only one arm. Even though she would have to work twice as hard.
Bethany Hamilton has done more than the majority of people who have two arms than she has with one. Through her trials she's stayed uplifting and inspiring. She went on a service trip to Haiti after the tsunami with her church group. She has won dozens of surfing competitions and has sponsors in Rip Curl. She was nominated for the Teen Choice Awards. She's guest stared in many shows and movies like Dolphin Tale 2, Oprah, The Biggest Loser, Amazing Race, 17 Kids and Counting, Academy of Country Music Awards, and Good Morning America. She even wrote her own auto biography, Soul Surfer. Which has been make into a movie. This movie shares the inspiring story of Bethany Hamilton.
Bethany Hamilton is my personal hero because of her inspiring story, her faith, her inner beauty, her strength, and all around being amazing at whatever is thrown at
