Bethany Hamilton

Bethany Hamilton after the shark attack

MY HERO IS BETHANY HAMILTON. BETHANY WAS ATTACKED BY A 14 FOOT TIGER SHARK WHILE SURFING. THE SHARK WRAPPED HIS MOUTH AROUND HER ARM AND RIPPED IT OFF. AFTER THAT SHE LOST LOTS OF BLOOD AND WENT INTO SHOCK. AFTER SHE WAS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL SHE TRIED SURFING AGAIN. EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS BITTEN, SHE STILL DREAMED OF BEING A PRO SURFER. THAT IS WHY BETHANY HAMILTON IS MY HERO!!!!

SHE IS MY HERO BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH SHE GOT BITTEN BY A 14 FOOT SHARK SHE STILL HAD HOPE OF BECOMING A PRO SURFER. SHE WAS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. SHE HAD COMPOSURE AND A LOT OF POSITIVE SPIRITS TILL BECOMING A PRO SURFER. BETHANY IS ALSO VERY THANKFUL TILL THIS DAY. SHE THANKS GOT EVERYDAY FOR GIVING HER HER, "NEW LIFE." MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE BEEN SCARED FOR LIFE IF THEY GOT BIT, BUT NOT BETHANY. BETHANY IS MY HERO BECAUSE SHE IS VERY INSPIRING TO ME AND MANY OTHERS. SHE MAKES SURE TO TELL KIDS TO  KEEP ON GOING EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE GOING TO BE OBSTACLES ALONG THE WAY.

Bethany Hamilton surfing again

SHE WAS A SURFER AT THE AGE 13. SHE GOT BIT BY A SHARK AND SURVIVED IT AT AGE 13. WHAT A STRONG GIRL. WHEN SHE WAS 13 SHE WAS COMPETING. SHE DREAMED OF BEING A PROFESSIONAL SURFER. WHEN SHE SURVIVED THE ATTACK SHE NEVER GAVE UP.  EVERYONE WAS WORRIED AND THINKING SHE WOULD NOT GO BACK AND SURF, BUT SHE DID. SHE HAD A POSITIVE MIND AND WENT BACK TO COMPETE. WHEN SHE WAS COMPETING SHE WON THE NATIONAL TITLE AND SURPRISED EVERYONE WHEN SHE WON IT.

SHE CONTINUED SURFING BECAUSE IT WAS HER PASSION FOR THE SPORT AND THE OCEAN. SHE WAS NOT SCARED TO GO BACK IN THE WATER. SHE WAS ONLY SCARED OF IF SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO SURF AGAIN. SHE WAS NOT SCARED OF BEING A ONE ARM PRO SURFER. WHEN SHE CONTINUED SURFING A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENED TO HER LIKE THE MOVIE 'SOUL SURFER.' SHE WON NATIONAL TITLES, SHE WENT TO PREMIERES, SHE ALSO GOT A WHOLE LOT OF FANS SO SHE DID FAN SIGNINGS. SHE IS ALSO MARRIED TO HER HUSBAND. ALL OF THIS BECAUSE ONE THING DID NOT HOLD HER BACK - SHE KEPT GOING.

One of Bethany's achieivements

SHE IS MY HERO BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH SHE GOT BIT SHE HAD HOPE. SHE WAS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. SHE ALSO HAD POSITIVE SPIRITS. SHE IS MY HERO BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE STOPPED SURFING OR WOULD HAVE BEEN SCARED. BETHANY HAMILTON IS VERY INSPIRING NOT JUST TO ME BUT MANY OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE. SHE WAS NOT AFRAID OR WORRIED ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAID ABOUT HER OR HER SURFING. TILL THIS DAY SHE IS MARRIED AND A PRO SURFER. SHE TAUGHT ME THAT IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING THERE IS ALWAYS GONNA BE OBSTACLES IN THE WAY, BUT YOUR GONNA HAVE TO JUMP OVER THEM AND SUCCEED ON WHAT YOU WANNA DO NO MATTER HOW YOU GET THERE.
