In 1999 a British climber fell from Mt. McKinley (some 2,000 feet.) and lost part of each arm, a leg, and part of his foot. But he refused to give up. Climbing was his life and he wasn't ready to give it up, so he contacted a medical professional by the name Prosthetic technician Phil Myers. Myers put together some material and made him arms to climb again. He can now climb mountains again and preform simple tasks like tieing his shoe.

My second story is about a 28 year old girl named Melisa. She is a Special Olympic swimmer. Melisa has a twin who is also in the Special Olympic's with her, when they were both born they were very premature and both stayed at the hospital for an additional 9 months. A accident at the hospital left Melisa deft. She was born with many breathing problems too, and she now had the breathing capacity equivalent to a 6 year old. Despite breathing and hearing difficulties she is still cutting time off her personal best swim time.

Now we've all heard of Helen Keller. The girl who at 19 months suddenly became blind and deft. Up until she was about 7 years old she was very unruly and had very little understanding of the world around her. That was when she met Ms. Sullivan. A 20 year old graduate from Perkins school for the blind, who had gotten her hearing back through a series of tests through her life. Soon after 'teacher' as Helen would call her, began to teach her many words. Throughout Helen's lifetime she has revived many awards and has many, many degrees. She has also written a number of books. Helen Keller died on June 1, 1968, shortly after her 88th birthday.

The River of Doubt, Theodore Roosevelt

It was 1912, and Roosevelt was about to give his last major speech before the election and the crowd was wild for him. His very own sister couldn’t even get it to see him. He knew after not winning the election people would begin to ignore him, and people who like him now will begin to dislike him and have nothing to do with him. After losing the election and people began to stop talking to him, he thought about taking a trip to South America to visit he son Kermit and explore the jungle. It seemed to be just what he needed after the defeat in the presidential election. Things started to go bad the day an explorer told them about a river worth exploring, the River of Doubt. Things quickly turned into a survival contest after just 3 months Roosevelt was suffering from malaria and had a bacterial infection in his knee from cutting his leg on a bolder. So he laid there so sick and delirious at times and with a temperature of 105, listening to the roar of the river clutching the small vile that held a fatal dose of morphine that he carried for years. That night he had a chance to take his own life, but instead the next morning after their leader through the jungle announced that they would be leaving behind the canoes and going through the jungle, every man for himself. They got help form a isolated tribe there and Kermit convinced the others that all he needed was some rope and he could lower the canoe to the falls, and save his father. Since they didn’t have anything to lose they let him do it. In the end Roosevelt, Kermit, and the other three men all ended up getting out. The river is now renamed the Rio Roosevelt.
