Hi everyone, bit of a rough day.
When i get a little down, i try and remeber stories of inspiration of incredible people who overcame what seemed impossible. Stories like Wilma Rudolph who was born a tiny child who suffered scarlet fever, pneumonia, and Polio. the latter took all strength from her leg and doctors feared she would never walk without a cane or worse, bound to a wheel chair. She fought and overcame all this (and much more) to win olympic gold medals in track and be the fasted woman alive in her generation.
Here are some others i find inspiration in:
Hershel Walker, his legs were so poor as a child, like Wilma doctors told him he'd never be able to run. he bacame one of the fastest running backs in football history.
The parents of Theodore Roosevelt feared he'd never live past 20 because of his melencholy and depression. Not only did he conquer it, he became one of our greatest presidents fighting injustice.
Wiston Chirchhill was Dyslexic as a child.
Albert Enstien failed High school
These are a few i like and was wondering if anyone could tell me of somone that inspires them. i love to read stories and biographies of inspiration people.
I do luckily have some great people to look up to in my life, people who fought and struggled and kicked and bit every inch.
