Hey all

I'm not sure if any of you who are reading my blog have read the book “the Victor within” by Victor Vermeulen & Jonathan Ancer but if you haven’t, I seriously suggest that you do, because it is probably the most inspirational and gut wrenching book you will ever read. This book tells the story of Victor Vermeulen (who was probably one of the most promising sports men in South Africa) and his struggle to recover from being paralyzed from the neck down in a swimming accident. It shows his strength and will to live and how he didn’t let becoming a quadriplegic completely change his outlook on life. This book is truly inspirational and I believe that if you are going through a rough patch in your life that you read it because it may be the book that will make you look at life in a completely different way. I also had the privilege of meeting Victor after a talk that he gave at my school and I felt that he was just as amazing as the book made him out to be. He is really someone who should be viewed as a role model because he has honestly gone through many hardships in his life and has managed to have a positive outlook on everything.
