She was told she wouldn’t be able to walk properly…and then she did.  Elizabeth Jackson, now the parent of two, seemed to have her life planned out in a total number of 6 steps and all before the age of 30. She knew she was going to go be an engineer by going to university at which the armed forces would pay for her and then she would find a man with qualities like a prince and would get married and live to have a perfect family like those ones on TV shows. Moreover, by only the age of 16, she had left school and gotten an apprenticeship at engineering sight in which she was the only female to ever receive one and was ecstatic to start. Sadly, life gets in the way and one cretinous mistake ended up pushing her storyline back a little bit. One minute her feet were locked on peddles moving in circles, faster and faster with anger fueling her and the next her hands were grabbing onto the breaks and bright lights were blinding her. Then she woke up and those blinding lights were now hospital lights. From the waist down on one leg, Jackson had been paralyzed. For the next 6 months, Jackson went to physiotherapy and all sorts of different types of tricks to build up muscle while tears constantly were on the brim of her bottom lash line. Remember that apprenticeship? She had to give it all away. One morning, a miracle had seemed to be in the air and Jackson was walking again. Although she didn’t go on to be an engineer, she found a new passion in teaching.
