When I think of someone who has overcome adversity, I immediately think of Ken Bestine. Ken Bestine is my best friend Madalyn's father. In 2002, Ken would be described a typical American man, living out the American Dream, working 70 hours a week, raising 3 year-old-twins and a 9-month-old baby, when his world completely changed. Ken was in a life changing motorcycle accident that left him a T-6, T-7 paraplegic. A life changing event as such would leave most individuals questioning how to continue. Ken too went through this difficult time. However, he found hand cycling to keep him going. His inspirational story is one that I would love to share. It is important for college students to realize their classmates stories. Everyone has one. There are experiences that have shaped everyone into the people that they are today.
