Written for: Poetic Bloomings2 - Prompt #330 I Challenge You "We will write a “challenge” poem. At the end of our poem we will choose one of our poets and give them a topic upon which to muse. Any form, any style, any subject within reason are game. Watch for the gauntlet to be thrown in your direction and write your poem(s)." Facing the toughest challenge of her young life wrought a profound change in this teen. A spoiled, beautiful, and popular girl–part of a circle of vacuous, vicious friends who lived on looks and gossip-gave up her past. She struggled to move forward after the tumor on her leg spread. Bouts of chemo did not prove enough. It became necessary to amputate. She fought, sought any way out of ever trying to walk again. But she did. Working with a dedicated physical therapist, she made it. Through new friends and support, she overcame her challenge, and headed for a meaningful life for herself and others. https://poeticbloomings2.wordpress.com/

Wow, I wonder if this is a true story…such a crisis is a game-changer, and often polishes character too.
