A young woman proved medical professionals who told her she would never walk very wrong.
Life is often an unfair experience, handing out problems and issues to some of society's most vulnerable and innocent members. Yes, people, because of wrong choices and poor decisions, bring hardships upon themselves. But other times, that is not the case, where the recipient did nothing deserving of a horrible disease or debilitating condition.
A clip posted on YouTube shows a little girl who was born with cerebral palsy. The child, the video points out, was told that because of her condition, she would never be able to walk. However, she and her family refused to accept that assessment.
The video starts with the tiny child in a hospital bed, attached to several tubes. Seconds later, the video has progressed several years into the child’s life. The girl is now using a walker to stroll along a paved road.
Then, with braces on both legs, a woman, likely her mother, right behind her, the girl, walks down a hallway. The woman providing the little girl with support advises and cautions her to take things slowly.
The video shows the little girl achieving a milestone in her life. While standing on a purple floor mat, the girl prepares to complete her biggest jump ever. The girl, who stands by herself with braces on her legs, accomplishes the feat. Sophia’s mother immediately erupts with shrieks of joy and excitement.
Clips follow with the child making her way down a flight of stairs, riding a scooter and balancing and hopping on one leg. The woman, likely Sophia’s mother, also puts her through a series of exercises designed to develop and strengthen the child's legs.
In the end, the child, who was told she would never walk, is spotted momentarily running on a treadmill. The inspirational and tear-jerking video ends with Sophia effortlessly climbing up a wall.
