- Rebecca Goeckeritz believes there are no barriers. At 15 months old, she was involved in an auto pedestrian accident, which left her paralyzed from the waist down. Although the event changed her life, she learned to view challenges as opportunities for growth.
I just watched this with my 22 month old daughter & we were both amazed. Thanks for sharing with us!
Becca, you're amazing and an inspiration to all of us! Thank you!!
Rebecca, I remember playing violin together in the same studio. I've never known your full story until now. What an inspiration you are to me and so many others! Way to take on the world!
this brings tears of joy to my eyes. i'm at the stage of my illness where i need a wheelchair part time. friends and family won't discuss this with me. i need positive roll models like you rebecca. i see that the key to handling this next step in my life is focusing all that i am able to do. if nothing else, needing a wheelchair has given me more love and empathy for others.
Rebecca--
I have admired you for a very long time.
As a friend of your parents, I have seen how you pull together as a family.
Thanks for helping us all to overcome self pity.
Warm regards,
Richard Warner
I don't mind at all. I knew I was in a wheelchair physically from a very young age, but I didn't "know" what being in a wheelchair meant socially until I was going into 7th grade. When I discovered I was in a wheelchair, at first I was shocked, but I am a prayerful person & I turned to prayer to help me think through this challenge. As I prayed one day I realized that I possessed a happiness that came from within, and that happiness attracted people to me. It was a time of discovery for me.
Like, even though your spine is hosed, you're already achieving greatness. You go, girl!
God Bless you & your Beautiful Family❤️ You play so lovely!! We are LDS & we believe with God nothing is impossible- You and your family have hearts of gold & souls to match ❤️🙏🕊
That's a great and inspiring story Rebecca, And it's amazing how a wheelchair individual plays the violin, and how happy all of us are. Bless you Rebecca!
Thanks for your Show - the best for you - greetings , elaine and olaf
I was paralyzed at 14 years old, T-11. Fell from a tree. I have had a journey like yours.
Having fun climbing a 🌲 then a second later your life is changed..I hope things worked out for you,......I'm sure you did too part works well
Great story. Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing Becca.
Becca for PRESIDENT! You inspire me, my friend!
I just saw your questions, and you have asked gr8 questions! I am paralyzed from T-8, which means feeling for me stops around my bellie button. It is gradual so it is hard to know exactly where there is no feeling. To understand how it feels, imagine somebody sews a someone else's limb to your hips and didn't attach any nerves. You carry around with you that limb, and you can "feel" its' presence, but not really feel it. That's the best I can do! Thanks for making me think about it!
Remarkable courage and inspiration. God is good in many ways. Even when we think differently.
Thank you Becca, I am only new to the wheelchair and still overcoming the obsticals before me, it has been quite an arduous journey, thanks for video which I have drawn on for further strength. I believe :-)
I loved this, you are such an inspiration!!!
Very independent!!!
Sounds like the world needs a few more people like you in it first.. and a whole lot more parents like the ones you had. I doubt kids these days even take the trash out.
Great Video.I have been a wc user all my life so it is easy for me.You are a great inspiration to others.
Your positive attitude is the only one to have.
I am physically challenged and wheelchair user from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I am post polio affected person. I have too compassion for you.
Becca, you cleaned the garage!!
Love you, you are beautiful. Mom
Amazing!!!!! !!!
Walking is overrated. I was glad when I was finally able to choose to use my wheelchair full time. It set me free.
what a great story
Mis respectos bella dama, también soy discapacitado,pero ella me supera, pero también se ve que tiene apoyo económico
what a great smile ! :).
You are a awesome young lady
There are barriers - we cannot deny them. But that doesn't mean we should not challenge them.
You are lovely!!!!
i love the way you are. i believe you will walk agin too blessings to you.
i hpoe 1 day maybe you can walk . and i pray for you to my GOD .
Very interesting. I didn't really come to terms with my use of a wheelchair until I was in college. Before that I was ashamed of it and of the lower half of my body.
I see you mentioned that you are a T-8. I'm T6-8 incomplete. Are you incomplete, too?
Anyway, great video.
Beautiful...you have such a beautiful smile
You look like you had scoliosis in this video. Am I right, and did you go through any treatment or surgery for it? I ask because I had kyphosis as an 11 year old, and had surgery.
