"The 1st time I got back in [the water] was in July, a year ago. I got back in with a floaty around my stomach because we weren't sure how I was going to respond in the water again, and now I'm headed to the Paralympics."
"To represent my country is just an incredible kind of journey that makes me feel proud and also really grateful."
"We fought back, but pretty quickly the shark had my leg in its mouth, and the next thing I knew, it had bitten off my foot and part of my leg."
"Very dark days," she recounted of that time in her life.
