Jeff Bauman was a attending the Boston Marathon when the bombing went off. Bauman was standing at the finish line for his now fiance. He lost both of his legs in the bombing. A day after he finished 2 life-saving surgeries, he helped police identify the bomber. But now the tables have turned in his favor. He announced that he will be getting married and that his fiance is pregnant. Bauman is also in the process of writing a book, "Stronger", which will be about his experiences of the bombing. 

What do you think of his accomplishments in overcoming so many obstacles? What do you think it takes to overcome these adversities?
