  1. I love this Women she is amazing in all she learned to to and all she had to cope with. She to me is an inspirational women who made limitations disappear. Also one of my favorite quotes from her is, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” To me this quote says it all and explains her story so well. Great Choice! She really is an awesome person!

  2. It was nice to read something about her that made her sound like a normal person. From reading this, you would have no idea that she was disabled, and I'm glad you didn't focus on that. Instead, you focused on everything else that made her an amazing woman. I really like this!
