HERE ARE THE STORIES
Ally was in a really bad car accident when she was in seventh grade. She was hurt so badly that she had to spend months in the hospital and then learn how to walk all over again. Ally could have skipped her homework for months, and no one would have said anything. Instead, Ally asked her mom to get her homework from school so that she could continue to grow her skills. Ally ended up graduating as one of the top students in her class!

During her time in the hospital, Ally discovered that she had a passion for art. She would spend hours painting and drawing because it helped her manage her stress and pain. After she was released from the hospital, Ally made time to visit art museums several times a year, and she still paints today.

While she was in the hospital, Ally would visit some of the youngest patients. She would help them do art projects or read to them. Even after she left, Ally continued to volunteer at the children's hospital and eventually studied medicine in college.
