I am often asked who I would like an audience with so I have put together a series of articles based on a few select people who I consider to be truly inspirational. I will ask of them one question in my mock interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My first article focuses on Katie Piper a Model, Author and Presenter who became known to the general public in March of 2008 when she suffered a vicious attack orchestrated by an ex-boyfriend. The attack was carried out by an accomplice instructed by the ex-boyfriend to throw acid into her face. This attack was a carefully planned by Katie\u2019s ex who, following the break up, demanded that she meet him in a local internet caf\u00e9, when she emerged from her London flat, it was then that the accomplice carried out the attack. Katie\u2019s ex knew her career was reliant on her looks as a model. His bitterness at having been rejected as her boyfriend ran deep, even though he had previously attacked her in a hotel room which had led to the breakup, he clearly felt the need for revenge. This is what drove him to execute such an evil act, it would seem intending to put a stop to her happiness and future career. Katie was left in what must have been excruciating pain with burns so extensive that she was left with horrendous disfigurement and blindness in one eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you struggle to Say “No”?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the aspects of Katies\u2019 story which sticks in my mind is that when she encountered the accomplice, she thought he was a homeless man asking her for money as he had approached her with his hood up and was walking directly towards her. Katie put her hand in her pocket to give the man some money and it was then that he threw the acid at her. It was her intended act of kindness which contrasts so sharply with the intentions of her attackers. It is always right to do the right thing and the example of good and evil is right there if ever we needed to see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get the answers to your questions and be inspired in The Group Hug community forum<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite all of this Katie has emerged from the ashes and boy has she emerged blooming with the roses of success. How to get through those more difficult days<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nInspirational Katie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Whilst initially dependent upon her parents for the first few years after the attack and having many, many operations to restructure her face and neck, Katie did not allow her history to dominate her future. She has gone on to marry, have two children and become an inspirational speaker, a presenter with Loose Women and an author of several books. Not only that, Katie is beautiful and continues to model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
