Overcoming it...
Overcoming the challenge of losing her left arm, facing the facts, and realizing she wouldn't be able to get back on the board right away was very difficult for Bethany because she loved/loves surfing.
During this time, when Bethany was overcoming the challenge of losing her left arm and learning to surf with one arm, she stayed strong, and was very positive and patient. Not only that, but she also stayed close with God, she relied on him knowing he would do what he could for her. Overall, it was definitely a challenge, but Bethany overcame it!
