Life is about chances, creating them and embarrassing them, and for me that was the Olympic dream. As a member of the Australia's team heading towards the winter Olympics, I was on a training hike ride, it was a perfect autumn day. I looked up to see the sun shining in my face. Suddenly, everything went black. I was hit by a truck. I was badly hurt. I broke my neck and my back in six places. I was paralyzed from the waist down. The doctor said, “Janine, you will have to rethink about your life. Because you're never going to be able to do the things you did before.”
Six months later, I got home. I had no feeling from the waist down. I couldn't walk. I had to use catheter (导尿管) for the rest of my life. All of those totally depressed me, all I wanted was to give up.
Maybe being at rock bottom is actually the perfect place to start.
One day, sitting at home in my wheelchair. I saw an airplane fly overhead. I looked up and thought to myself, “that's it! If I can't walk, I might as well fly.” So I went to a flying school and a man named Andrew started to train me, people there used to look at me and think, “Oh, who is she kidding? She's never going to be able to do this.” But that didn't matter, because there was something inside me burning, which far outweighed my injuries.
Little goals kept me going along the way, and eventually I got my private license (飞行执照) and became a pilot. Then I taught other people how to fly, just within 18 months after I'd left the hospital.
Then I knew for certain that although my body might be limited, my spirit was unstoppable.
