64. 2:20forever there was just nothing more that
65. 2:21the doctors could do in the situation
66. 2:23all her dreams Came Crashing Down later
67. 2:26on Bethany explained how she never saw
68. 2:28the shark coming it literally came out
69. 2:30of the blue in her book she wrote the
70. 2:32water was crystal clear and calm the
71. 2:35waves were small and inconsistent and I
72. 2:37was just kind of rolling along with them
73. 2:39relaxing on my board with my right hand
74. 2:41on the nose of the board and my left arm
75. 2:44dangling in the cool water I remember
76. 2:46thinking I hope the surf picks up soon
77. 2:49when suddenly there was a flash of gray
78. 2:52she added my left arm was gone almost to
79. 2:54the armpit along with a huge
80. 2:56crescent-shaped chunk of my red white
81. 2:58and blue surfboard most would have
82. 3:00called it quits right there just happy
83. 3:02to be alive after staring death in the
84. 3:05face but not Bethany she was physically
85. 3:07scarred by the shark attack but she
86. 3:09refused to let it damage her emotionally
87. 3:11while spending her days in the hospital
88. 3:13she'd already started planning out what
89. 3:14she was going to do in the future after
90. 3:17all she was just 13 years old and had a
91. 3:19long life to live according to Bethany
92. 3:22it came to the point where she wondered
93. 3:24if she was even going to be able to Surf
94. 3:25anymore she thought what am I going to
95. 3:27do am I going to have to move to the
96. 3:29mountain and snowboard or become a
97. 3:31photographer she had all these ideas but
98. 3:33deep inside her heart she knew she
99. 3:35wanted to at least try surfing again and
100. 3:37give it a go even after everything that
101. 3:38had happened in her own words I didn't
102. 3:40know what God had planned for me but I
103. 3:42knew I still wanted to be a light for
104. 3:44him he gave me peace through every
105. 3:46situation and the strength to move on
106. 3:48Bethany realized that she couldn't let
107. 3:50this be the end of her story she knew
108. 3:52that giving up on life wasn't an option
109. 3:54and that somehow she had to find a way
110. 3:56to keep going and to keep doing what she
111. 3:58loved so a about 3 weeks after the
112. 4:01attack she returned to her board the
113. 4:03experience was unlike anything Bethany
114. 4:06explained that when she got up on her
115. 4:07third wave she knew that second that
116. 4:09she'd be surfing and being in the ocean
117. 4:11as long as she was alive this
118. 4:13determination helped her achieve the
119. 4:15impossible more than a year after the
120. 4:17attack Bethany won her first national
121. 4:20surfing title it was completely
122. 4:22unexpected everyone thought this would
