Bethany Hamilton

The professional surfer was attacked by a shark in 2003 when she was just 13 years old and had her left arm bitten off. Amazingly, Hamilton went back in the water just 26 days after the terrifying incident. In an interview with CNN, she said: "Looking in hindsight, I see all the beauty and good that’s come from the loss of my arm that I wouldn’t change life to be how I think it should be but rather just embracing life as it is."
