Put's it into perspective

This is a story to inspire you to reach for your dreams.

A girl I know just sent me this, it’s a moving and true story…..

"Many years ago, I came a close second in the Miss Brazil, 1975 competition.

Later that year I emigrated and was beset by long periods of bad luck and depression.

I suffered through years of alcohol and drug abuse and a series of eating disorders.

Then I lost a leg and needed facial reconstruction surgery after a serious road accident.

Later, I suffered 90% burns in an unprovoked acid attack.

Several of my teeth were knocked out and I had an eye gouged out in a fight outside a bar.

But I never, ever stopped hoping and believing.

And then finally, last week, I was crowned Miss Salford".
