When I was born the doctors told my mother that I wouldn’t live to see college. They also told her that I would never be able to walk, or even push myself in a wheelchair. Well, they were wrong about all of it.

I can walk with the help of a crutch and braces, I’m only in a wheelchair for longer distances. I will also be going to college here in a couple of months. Determination is what has gotten me to push past everything they have said I wouldn’t do and I still live by that today.

I love Makenna’s story of perseverance and determination.  We all should try not to allow our differences to have any sort of negative impact on our lives…EVER! right?  Makenna is the perfect example of that!
