BETHANY HAMILTON-SOUL SURFER
/10
It is sometimes said that Bethany Hamilton was
born with the sea in her blood. Her parents, who
were enthusiastic surfers, had moved to Hawaii
before she was born so that they could spend
more time in the water. With her parents and two
older brothers, she started learning to surf when
she was very young. She fell in love with the sport,
and she won her first competition at the age of
eight. (1)
The waves weren't very high
and she was just lying on her board, relaxing,
when a three-metre-long tiger shark came up
from below and bit off her left arm.
Thanks to her quick-thinking friends, Bethany
survived despite losing over half the blood in her
body. She was rushed to hospital where doctors
carried out emergency surgery. When she came to
after the operation, her first words were 'When
can I surf again?' (2) On November 26th,

she returned to the sea on her surfboard and, in
January 2004, she entered her first competition
since the attack.
Around the same time as she was returning to
surfing competitions, Bethany was also busy with
appearances on television and giving newspaper
interviews. At first, she didn't enjoy being in the
public eye. (3)
But, eventually, she
realised that it gave her an opportunity to tell
people about her life and her beliefs.
In the same year, 2004, she wrote her
autobiography: Soul Surfer: A true story of faith,
family and fighting to get back on the board. This
brought her story to a much wider audience.
Despite still being a young teenager with her own
disability, Bethany was determined to help others
who had even worse problems. She got an
opportunity to do this in 2005 when there was a
call for volunteers to travel to Thailand.
(4)
Bethany went there and was able to
help local people overcome their fear of the
water.
Bethany won her first national surfing
competition in 2005 and she turned professional
two years later. Although surfing takes up a lot of
her time, she has other passions. (5)
She
also works hard to promote healthy lifestyles and
diet. In 2011, her amazing story was made into a
film and, once again, Bethany was able to reach an
even wider audience and has become a role
model for many people with disabilities. When a
journalist asked what she would do if she could
get her arm back, her reply was immediate. She
wouldn't want to change her life as it was the loss
of her arm which made everything that she has
achieved possible.
