(原创)Jennifer Bricker's life had a difficult start. Born without legs, her parents gave her up for adoption because they couldn't afford her medical care. But Jennifer's adoptive family made sure her disability was never a factor in her life. “Can't is a fourletter word we don't use in this house, ” her mother always told her. At six years old, Jennifer became fond of gymnastics, and her adoptive family encouraged her at every turn.
Watching the Olympics on TV, Jennifer immediately was drawn to one of the American gymnasts, Dominique Moceanu. The reporter mentioned she had a Romanian background. “Like me,” Jennifer said.
Moceanu, Jennifer's mother knew that last name. It was the last name of Jennifer's birth parents. What_a_strange_coincidence! The reporter showed Dominique's parents react to their daughter's performance. When the reporter said their names, Jennifer's mother shouted. They were Jennifer's birth parents. Dominique won a gold medal as part of the team competition, and Jennifer was inspired. But her parents decided to wait until she was older to tell her about her famous sister.
Jennifer trained hard and won state titles in high school competitions. Dominique remained her inspiration. On Jennifer's 16th birthday, she finally asked her parents about her birth family. That's when they told her: Her idol was also her biological sister.
