Bethany Hamilton was a professional surfer.Bethany was born feb 8,1990.Bethany got in a shark attack and the shark bit off her arm.But she still proceeded to surf.Bethany Hamilton is influential because she never lost her courage and faith during the time of the attack.She never stopped doing what she loved.She inspired me to think that even if bad things happen in life you should never lose your courage.
Bethany won lots of surfing contests without an arm.I think that is what makes her memorable.I think she is very memorable because you can't just forget the girl who kept surfing without an arm!Bethany did lots of interviews.She was very young when she got attacked.She was thirteen years old!
Bethany was home schooled.She started getting home schooled in sixth grade because thats when she started contests and becoming a professional surfer.Bethany's parents Tom and Cheri are very smart and creative with lessons for home schooling so Bethany is very smart.
Bethany Hamilton is very influential I hope that someday I can be like her and never lose sight of what is really important even when bad things happen.
