In his bed, the boy horribly burned and semiconscious, I heard the doctor talking to his mother. She told him that his son would die surely that was the best that could happen, actually - since the fire had destroyed the lower part of his body.
But the brave boy did not want to die. He decided that survive.
Somehow, much to the surprise of the doctor, he survived.
Once past the danger of death, he heard his mother and doctor talking slowly. Since the fire had damaged greatly lower extremities of her body, the doctor said the mother, would have been much better if I died, because he was doomed to be invalid life without the possibility of using their legs.
Once again the brave kid took a decision. It would not be an invalid.
Would walk. But unfortunately from the waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs dangled lifeless. Finally, he was discharged.
Every day his mother would massage his legs, but there was no feeling, no control, nothing.
However, his determination to walk was stronger than ever.
When he was not in bed, he was confined to a wheelchair. One sunny morning, the mother took him to the yard to get fresh air.
That day instead of sitting, threw himself from the chair. He pulled himself across the grass dragging legs.
He reached the fence of white poles that surrounded the garden of his house. With great effort, he climbed the fence. There, post by post, he started down the fence, decided to walk.
He began to do the same every day until he made a small footprint along the fence. Nothing wanted more than liven up those two legs. Finally, thanks to the fervent prayers of his mother and his daily massages, his iron persistence and his resolute determination, he developed the ability, first stop, then walk unsteadily and finally just walk and then run. He started walking to school, then running for the simple pleasure of running. Later, in college, he joined the race team on track. And even later, at Madison Square Garden, this young man who had no hope of surviving, would never walk, she would never have the chance to run, this determined young man, Glenn Cunningham, became the American athlete who ran the kilometer fast the world! thought Glenn Cunningham Have the courage and strength to make your decisions and be consistent when shaping.
