Re: Your most inspiring FRC photo!

This is my most inspiring FIRST picture. What you don't see in this picture is a wheelchair. This young lady just 6 weeks prior to this picture was 100% paralyzed and couldn't even breathe on her own. She was in the hospital for 42 days and had to relearn everything (Walk, talk, etc).

This picture was the very same day she was released from the rehabilitation hospital. After a half hour at home, she said "Mom, take me to the shop". She just wanted to build her robot.

When the Drs. told her she would not walk for maybe a year, her response was "I have a robot to drive in 4 months"...and she did just that. Now THAT's inspiring.
