I agree. She accepted what happened to her and she turned the experience into helping people.
exactly, and it’s opened up doors for her that would not have been opened up otherwise- not that she chose such a horrible thing to happen- or that she likes what happened- no- she does however sound like she is grateful she survived, and now is able to help other victims cope- it has given her purpose- I’m sure she would have preferred never to have gone through it- but since she was forced to- survived, and is now able to help others- it gives her a sense of, i dunno the word- perhaps usefulness to help others that she wouldn’t have had otherwise-
She has chosen to turn tragedy into triumph- it doesn’t mean the mental scars aren’t still there- it just means she chooses to conquer, or perhaps minimize them by helping others which she obviously enjoys doing-
in her words:
“because of what it has allowed me to do, the people I’ve been able to meet, and the cause that has become and driven such a large part of my life,””
A Noble accomplishment indeed- to rise above and reach out and help others instead of retreating into depression and dispair5
