After my injury, I was determined to get back to work. I was not able to physically do what I did before, but I took a good look at the other abilities that I had.

My greatest challenge has been self-acceptance. It means nothing to me what other people think, feel or believe... it's how I feel about myself and what I can contribute to society in a meaningful way.

Just because you have an injury it doesn't mean your life should be over. It just means that there are different challenges ahead of you.

Dave Durepos

Ironically, my accident is one of the best things that ever happened to me. When I look back at my life and what I have done with it, I never would have gained all these experiences.

Chris Aalders

My fellow patients looked to me as a source of inspiration. I quickly learned the tasks that my therapists gave me and was always asking for more.

Terry Leavitt

My attitude has also changed a lot. I don't take anything for granted. I'm back into school and I am taking courses to help me get into an architecture program.

You can't let a disability get you down. You have to focus on the future. You have to say to yourself, "I can get through this."
