Amy Purdy is a world-class athlete,model and actress.She has achieved amazing success in her life and hasn't let anything slow her down—even the loss of both legs!
When Amy was 15,she started snowboarding.After finishing high school,she moved to the mountains,where she could easily spend her free time snowboarding.She felt totally in control of her life.But then at 19,she contracted meningitis(腦膜炎),a horrible disease that left her with only a two percent chance of survival.Amy survived,but there were terrible consequences.She lost a kidney(腎),the hearing in her left ear,and both legs below the knees.
For a long time,Amy felt depressed.But when she closed her eyes,she could still see herself snowboarding.She decided not to let this situation take over her life.By the time she was 21,she was back on her board,wearing artificial(假的) legs she had built herself.The first time she tried to use them,she fell off,but her legs kept going down the hill without her!After a few years of hard training using her new legs,Amy was able to reach her highest performance level.She became the Para-Snowboarding World Champion in 2012,and she later won the bronze medal in the 2014 Paralympic Games.
Amy's new life was beyond what she expected.Suddenly,she had become a celebrity,a fashion model and an actress.What's more,she started helping people like her to do the sports they love.She started a company that makes artificial limbs,and she created an organization that introduces people with physical disabilities to action sports.
Now,if you ask Amy,"Would you want to change your situation?"she would say no.Losing her legs has enabled,not disabled,her.According to Amy."It's facing our fears head on that allows us to live our lives beyond our borders."
