It was a Saturday night I can still remember hearing my mother yell seeing her running to me with all the worry in her eyes , there Insta a part of my body that didn't hurt but I don't remember much . I tried to get up and run to her, as we were in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, I remember seeing a guy with the police and my mum on the phone to my dad Steve she was crying a lot I had no clue why but I guess she was worried about me but there wasn't a part of my body that didn't hurt , as we got to the hospital I met this doctor called dr big well he told me that I was never going to walk agin I was in shock what 16 year old wouldn't be ,dr big well told me I was lucky to be alive and that I had been in a horrific accident and the guy who hit me was talking with the police but he is very sorry and with that the doctor walked out . I turned to my mum

"Is it true mum am I never going to walk agin the dance is coming up and I'm only 16 " I said with tears running down my face and a hundred thoughts running though my head

"Yes hun I'm afraid it's true"

"I have always wanted to run for my country in the olympics I guess now that's never going to happen" I said with tears running down my face

I looked at my mum ,mum was scared I could tell she wanted me to live my dream but with no money to by fake legs and no working legs it was kind of impossible as the day ended dr big well sent us home and told me to continue going to school and every week for a check up.I kinda liked my new chair my mum and sister Julie had put balloons and ribbons and sparkly things on my chair maybe I could make it a fashion .The next day I got up for school normally I went to school and no one noticed but I did , I noticed the looks and the special treatment , at lunch time I got a call from a random number saying

"mum had called and she told him about my dream and he looked at my grades and running history before my accident he said he was going to get his hole team from the Olympic s and he was going to raise enough money so I could run for my country with fake legs "

I wheeled to tell my friend Marco he was over the moon happy for me and so was I macro had been my friend since I was a little girl he never gave up on me and I brought us closer.i told Marco

"You have to come with me to the Olympics you've always been there for me and always supported me so he had to come"

Marco said "I wouldn't miss it for the world "

Two weeks later I had my new legs on and I was enjoying walking agin I couldn't run yet because I hade to save my Energy for the big race aka the Olympics .It was the big day lights were shinning , my stomach was in a knot but u was ready to win this race , I looked up and seed Marco , mum and Julie standing in the stands cheering me on .i was running for the parolimpics team the speakers spoke

"First up we have Linda Tyson running for Canada " Linda scared me she looks like the kind of girl who eats nails for breakfast and works out all the time

"Next to Linda is Rachel JACKSON" after he said that I had everything I needed my name had been called over and it gave me everything I needed I was winning this race and no one is stopping me, the guy kept saying names but I didn't care all up there were about 400 people in that race and not even Linda a 4 time gold metal winner was scaring me.a man walked up

"On your marks , get ready , get set GO " And Bam of we went , I don't remember how long the race was or how close it was because I was running for me and I was running for the fact that I had to live my dream and I was so I ran , I ran with every part of my body pushing me further than I've ever been in my life and I was loving it I got to the Finnish line with a smile on my face and looked around I had one ! I had truly one. I one a gold metal for my Australia and broke the world record for fastest Paralympic runner . I looked for mum and Julie and Marco , I hugged mum and Julie who were crying

"I did it mum , I actually did it "

I walked away and just stood there when a guy tapped my shoulder it was Marco, I've never seen Marco shy in his life but at this point in time he was Marco pulled out a note got on one knee and said will u marry me and pulled out a diamond ring from his pocket.

I yelled "YES , YES ,YES MARCI I WILL MARRY YOU HOW DID U KNOW ?"

"Know what ?" Marco inquired

"That I loved u"

"That's easy because I loved u back and that's all that mattered even if u said no it was worth you knowing my feelings "

The end of that day was perfect , I got married later on , had kids , lived my dream and even went to the ball.
