The bravest person I ever knew

There was a girl in my class who was in a wheelchair. She had a pretty face, bright eyes, and a big smile. When she accidentally dropped something on the floor, I reached over, picked up and handed it back to her. She smiled and thanked me. When class ended, I asked her if she needed any help getting out. She thanked me and said she could manage. But I walked out with her anyway and we talked. She had been injured in an automobile accident that left her crippled. She was stuck in that wheelchair the rest of her life. But it didn't seem to bother her. She had a great attitude. She was the bravest person I ever knew.
