I really was inspired by this video because they talked like it was a better thing for her to get an infection in her leg because for me, she played much better and was making some errors.

I think that Kate Foster's story is very inspirational, because it really shows that if you are willing to work hard for something, and if you never give up, you really can do anything that you set your mind to, even if you have disabilities pulling you down. Kate Foster was incredibly talented at gymnastics, but later in her life, she was diagnosed with cancer, and he leg had to be amputated. Kate was very sad, because this meant that she couldn't do gymnastics anymore. Or did it..? Kate still worked extremely hard to try and do well in gymnastics even despite her prosthetic leg, which made many things harder for her, because it didn't bend, and she couldn't always feel where it was. Kate was determined to still do well in gymnastics, and she was able to adapt more to her prosthetic leg, and then with enough hard work and practice, she was still able to do extremely well in gymnastics. Kate Foster is truly an inspiration to many people, and especially those with disabilities. People can look at her story, and realize that they can achieve their dreams as well, even if there is something pulling them down.

I found this really cool because my sister does this and I love how she explained the hardness of having only one leg she showed that since her amputated leg comes down first she has to rely on knowing where the beam is and that it can be hard when she falls. I find it really inspire that she continues to do what she loves no matter what it made me think of the thing I love to do (Horseback ridding) and what I would do if I lost my leg, legs are very important, they keep you from falling off. I hope I would be brave enough to do what I love anyway

This video inspired me a lot because there are a bunch of people in the world who don't have a body part and still get motivated to keep going. People give up on themselves when they lose one or two body parts but this girl did not. I like how she was refusing to lose her leg but it was that or the infection would get worse. This is like that one video when they showed a bunch of videos that were motivational and one of them was a girl losing her leg and she was refusing to give up her leg. It was losing her leg or death. She chose the safe way and actually did better than she did with her foot.

Wow! I think that she is really brave because she can do gymnastics with her leg amputated. I think this video is really inspirational because it shows that if you work hard you can always achieve something. I went to a camp in 4th grade summer and the coach always said that if you believe you can achieve.

I think that Kate is really brave because her legs got amputated when she was at a young age, and I admire the fact that when the doctor told her she needed to have her legs amputated, she thought about what she would do in gymnastics. I think that shows how dedicated she is to gymnastics, and she had to figure out a way to keep doing gymnastics. I don't understand how she could have still been able to do gymnastics with her prosthetic leg, but she sure made it work. I also admire the coach for being able to help Kate in whichever way she needed. I think having her legs amputated had a big effect on the people in her life, mostly herself.

This is amazing! I really like this video because she got diagnosed with cancer had to get her leg cut off. Even though she had one leg she still did gymnastics and she was very good at it. Even though she refused to loose he leg the infection would of gotten worse she would not have been able to do gymnastics. She did flips and all different kinds cool gymnastics moves.Kate Foster’s story is trying to tell you if you are willing to work hard no matter what happens or what happened it will pay off.

This video ids so moving and inspiring. When Kate finds out she has cancer, she didn't know what was going to happen, and she had to get her leg amputated. She didn't think she would ever be able to do gymnastics again, but she got a prosthetic leg and believed in herself again. She is an amazing gymnast and is everyone knew her story, nobody would give up.

I like this video because gymnastics isn't an easy thing and we have to try hard each day for us to be better. This was motivational to me because someone losing their leg is just much harder with a leg. It is so sad seeing someone losing their leg but they are refusing because they need it for something important to their life. In this video, the girl had to loose her legs and she had refused to loose it but she just had to. After she lost her leg, she really inspired me because she started to actually continue gymnastics and did really good. She did make a few errors but she did better than what I could do. I think the message of this video is that whatever we put to our mind, we can do it.

Just like Kate Foster said, "A lot of us think that bravery is knights and shining armor" but really, bravery is when you do something even when you feel like giving up. Figuring out you have cancer is not the brightest moment ever. Instead it is the moment where you feel like giving up on life, and when you find out you might have to give up on the thing you love most is really hard. Kate being brave enough to try and continue doing what she loves most, is really inspiring to people, even after knowing that she was going to loose her leg. Knowing that someone is still willing to help you get better at what you love most is a very special moment. Kate has a really awesome coach that is willing to do anything for her. Figuring out different ways to still make a gymnast move flawless, takes time and bravery to try. Kate did it. She tried and tried and tried. Just like Kate said, the beam was hard for her because she can't feel the beam with her foot like she used to be able to. But she tried her very best without giving up and made it work. Kate did so many things and tried new things to make everything work. Kate is someone who is going to inspire many little gymnastic in the future. With two legs or one, just having bravery, makes everything possible.

I found this story very inspirational! Kate lost one of her legs, but persevered and continued to do gymnastics. I love when people work hard and persevere like Kate, it shows us how much we can accomplish if we keep trying and set our mind to it.

This was very inspiring to me because Kate Foster was still very skilled even when she LOST her leg. That is amazing. I think the message of this is that whatever we put to our mind, we can do. She was really good but then she lost her leg. Kate Foster was really sad after this and she refused to do this. Then her coach has never taught a person who didn't have a leg. She still played better than ever and she was amazing at this.

I think that the story about Kate Foster is truly inspirational, because it shows that no matter what hardships you face, whatever obstacle you come against, you can do anything you set your mind to if you are willing to work hard for it and never give up. Kate was an extremely talented gymnast, when she found out that she had cancer, so her leg had to be amputated. Kate was very sad, because this meant that she could not do gymnastics any longer. Despite this, Kate still worked very hard to achieve her dream of being a good gymnast, even though she had a prosthetic leg. She described what the issues were because of her new leg, such as it being hard to balance due to difference in the weight of the legs, and the length of the legs. Kate Foster is truly an inspiration to all, and especially those with disabilities. Kate's story proves to them that with enough hard work and perseverance, they can do anything no matter the challenges they face and/or are facing.

Wow! This video inspired me a lot. This girl, when she got diagnosed with cancer, and they had to take away her leg, the first thing that came to her mind was that she could not do gymnastics like that. She didn't think it would hurt. And after she got a new leg, she still did not give up. This reminds me of that video we watched were the song playing was like, "No we won't give up, no we won't give in, till we the end, then we'll start again." And the way she did gymnastics after was also cool. I would type more but my dad is calling me for dinner.

Kate Foster is a very inspirational gymnast because she lost her leg and she won't give up no matter what. She looks happy about losing her leg because she is showing people that it is okay if you lose your leg or your arm. Just keep TRYING no matter what!!!

The girl in the video was brave to keep doing gymnastics. She tried even times got tough and didn’t give up. Many people might not continue after that of that happened to them, but she kept going and I love that. Her coach and other people there were KIND to her and still supported her. She went through many problems and her coach still supported her. This shows that even when times are tough you should keep going and push forward. She could and given up but she didn’t and that is good. She persisted and kept going. She kept going and when she did it it was great, but when she didn’t she kept trying. That is like most people for the most part. Except when they fail, they stop trying and sometimes give up. Even though giving up isn’t good, some people still do it.

She is so cool. Even if she did not have a leg, she tried her best and even did stuff like backflips! I liked that many people supported her instead of saying to give up and that she would not make it. I am glad she still tried and did ever possible way to do something she wants to do.
