Hamilton also opened a contest, asking her supporters to Instagram a photo and write about what inspires them using #EveryStep Matters. I mean, she's just a real person celebrities can get a little bit flustered, and she's just really good and the same with every single person she meets in any event. "You got these girls that stand in line for hours to wait for her and they finally get there, she treats everybody the same. One year later, after months of training, Hamilton competed in and won the NSSA Nationals Surfing Championship, earning her first national title as an amputee. Sometimes I would come in crying and frustrated and discouraged." "I remember trying to paddle out surfing and there were just waves crashing on me over and over again. "I think at first, adjusting to life with one arm was essentially really challenging because I was so used to doing everything with two arms, and all of the sudden, I'm relearning how to put my hair up and relearning how to surf," Hamilton said. Although Hamilton credited her family, particularly her father, for helping her get back on the board, she said the transition from two arms to one was far from easy.

"Just dealing with fame and becoming a girl and struggling with my body image and the media and this world that we live in is so incredibly challenging," said Hamilton during a recent interview at the Mall at Millenia.

Hamilton was rushed to the hospital, losing both her arm and 60 percent of her blood.
