Tonight Jenna might have received her answer to "Why me?" regarding the car accident she was a passenger in back in March that involved 4 surgeries, put her in a wheelchair for 3 months, boots for yet another 2 months, a lot of physical therapy and even more time in the pool to get back in shape for competitive swimming.
At our local fitness center after her daily 2 1/2 hours swim (over 4 miles), she discovered an elderly man who was purple and nearly unresponsive. She pulled him from the hot tub putting him in the rescue position and remained by his side while staff and EMS arrived.
She's my hero .... and the hero to this grandpa and his family. Sometimes you might never know "why me".
This was a sweet moment to see that even though she went through a long difficult experience, she blessed the life of another (although, I'd argue that she has touched many lives with her determination and positive outlook through this whole ordeal).

wow! that is amazing!
She needs to write a book about this experience. What an amazing thing to have happen and to tell other youth about. She has always had such a great attitude and you must be so proud of her. xo
