Giraffe hero - Samantha Petersen

When kids enter adolescence, they are shy and they are feeling awkward about how they look.
But this was much harder for Samantha Petersen. This is why at age 11 was diagnosticated to her scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine.
In August 2012, she was scheduled for surgery and her mother asked her if she could take a picture of her back.
When she saw the picture, she said that she didn't never see how beautiful she was.
After the surgery, Samantha's spine was stabilized and straight. 
She launched a nonprofit organization to help those who aren't lucky as she's been.
