Braveheart from Birth – My Guest, 14 Year Old Mirikil Stewart.

“Believe in YOURSELF and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is GREATER than any obstacle”

To put this week’s story into context I want to share a little bit about my depth of perception. Having spent 4 years in the military and then over 20 years in fire and EMS, I’ve had the incredible honor of baring witness to dozens of amazing people that have overcome incredible odds. I have so many examples that I could pull from when a person has done something that is life altering and motivational. However, there have been very few times where I found myself speechless with inspiration from the first moment that I met them.

Ms. Mirikil Stewart stole my heart the very second I saw her warming up before our scheduled game. Ms. Stewart was throwing the softball with her teammates as she prepared to compete against my team in 14u competitive softball team. During birth, Mirikil sustained an injury that left her with limited use of her right arm.

Watching her catch the ball with the same hand that she would have to throw with was amazing, but little did I know that she was actually a baller! We ended up playing her team twice in this tournament and she went 2 for 4 and made a diving play in the outfield in the first game and then she was the catcher in the second game. She even threw a runner out stealing. It’s not often that I find myself rooting for the other team, but how do you not when you realize you are seeing something special.

After our second game, I went over to her coach to inquire about this amazing young lady and her coach immediately started tearing up. It is quite obvious how much of an impact she has had on the people around her and I can’t wait to hear how many people she will inspire as she continues her phenomenal story.
