How have you beaten the odds? What did someone say you'll never be able to do, and they were flat wrong?
They said he would never walk again. Last weekend, he finished second-place in a racquetball tournament -- on his feet. Amazing story of never giving up.
Four years ago, Yelandi Rivero was seriously injured in an ATV accident. He was paralyzed from the waist down and doctors told him to get used to it - he'd never walk again. He refused to accept the diagnosis and with his daughter's help, started exercising and walking every day. A year after the accident he ditched his walker and forced himself to get around. He found motivation from two places - through his doctor's pessimism, and watching others play his favorite sport - racquetball. Four years later, he's back on the court. go!
In what way does your kid think he/she is an adult?
She smokes. She drinks. She's 3. Her parents say it all started after she was in a road accident. The little girl, Ya Wen from China, began slamming beer and toking cigarettes after being hit by a speeding van last year. She apparently steals daddy's stash or just puts everything on credit from a neighboring store. The store owner thought she was buying everything for her father. "Three glasses of beer is no problem to her," added her mom. Dad has now stopped smoking to set a better example and the family has moved to the other side of the city. story
