Cunningham
Summary:
 Cunningham as a child lit up a stove without knowing there was coal in it from the previous night. he was sitting near it when it began to explode reaching his legs. he was then told by the doctors that he wouldn't be able to walk anymore. But he was determined to fulfill his dreams of becoming an Olympic runner and becoming a doctor. with the help of the massages his mom would give him he was able to walk again. He then joined the school football team and succeeded in high school. he was able to obtain a scholarship but rejected it because he wanted to succeed on his own. He ran track and got his coach's attention. he was able to run a mile in 4:04 close to beating the 4 minute mile. He won a silver medal in the Olympics. He then retired from running and became a doctor. He got married and had 10 kids.
Reflection:
 In my perspective Cunningham is a great example of somebody who doesn't give up and keeps going. He was supposed to not walk anymore according to the doctors yet instead he was able to walk again and became famous for the use of his legs. He was able to participate in the Olympics and become a doctor just like he dreamed. He could've gave up but instead was determined to keep going. This encourages me to keep going. No matter what obstacles life gives me, I know I should keep going until I succeed.
