The article recounts the author's journey from a life-altering horseback riding accident at 15 to becoming an adventurous spirit defined by defiance against societal norms. Despite being told she'd never ride again, she quickly proved the doctors wrong by winning her first jumping competition. As she pursued opportunities like motorcycle stunt riding and flying, she faced gender biases but remained determined to forge her own path. Her resilience and adventurous spirit are constantly fueled by memories of her mother’s encouragement to never say, 'I can't.' Her journey also illustrates the thrill and challenges of breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated fields.
At 15, after a severe accident, I proved the doctors wrong by winning a jumping competition just months later, fueling my adventurous spirit.
Despite knowing motorcycle stunt riding was a male-dominated field, I signed up, leaving off my title to disguise my identity as a woman.
