I don't need easy. I just need possible. I got attacked by a shark and lost my arm. I was thirteen years old. People told me I would never surf again. But I didn't want to be known as the girl who lost her arm to a shark. I wanted to be known as a surfer. Courage doesn't mean you're not scared. It means you paddle out anyway. I came back stronger. The water didn't scare me. Giving up scared me.

Traducao (Portugues)

Não preciso de fácil. Só preciso de possível. Fui atacada por um tubarão e perdi meu braço. Eu tinha treze anos. As pessoas disseram que eu nunca mais surfaria. Mas eu não queria ser conhecida como a garota que perdeu o braço para um tubarão. Eu queria ser conhecida como surfista. Coragem não significa que você não tem medo. Significa que você rema assim mesmo. Voltei mais forte. A água não me assustava. Desistir me assustava.
