Natali du Toit

Natali du Toit, the South African
swimmer,was only seventeen when
she lost her leg in a road
accident.She was going to a
training sessions on her motorbike
when a car hit her.Her leg had to
be amputated at the knee .But
Natalie was determined to carry on.
She went back into the pool only
three months after the accident.
And just one year later, at the
Commonwealth Games in Manchester,
she swam 800 metres in 9 minutes
11.38 seconds and qualified for
the final,but not for disabled
swimmers,able-bodied ones!
Although she didn't win a medal,
she still made history."I remember
how thrilled I was the first time
that I swam after recovering from
the operation- it felt like my
leg was there.It still does,"says
Natalie."The water is the gift
that gives me back my leg.
I'm still the same person that I
was before the accident.I believe
everything happens in life for a
reason .You can't go back and
change anything.Swimming is my
life."
In spite of her deafness and
blindness Helen's great will
turned into great achievement.
Helen Keller devoted herself to
raising the awareness of
handicapped people throughout
the world.She said,"Don't think
of today's failures,think of
the success that may come to
you tomorrow!"
