17 puts her at the end of the millennial generation...survival instincts coming back to our culture? Maybe the next generation can be called the Shark Punchers? "My safe space is behind these hands!"

Snow flakes are made not borne .
Just as free thinking self reliant citizen are formed by there Parents and family and good mentors like strong coaches who teach respect, responsibility and the value of hard work and the true meaning of team work and commitment. This young Lady didn't surrender to the attack of this shark she fought back. One of the sure way to lose in any situations is to stop fighting or to stop thinking of how to win. Giving up is never the best answer. I'am thankful for the reminder not all is lost in the younger generation we still produce fighters , who have the will to succeed.

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth - Oh Hell Yeah they don't have Hands the only thing they have is Teeth and a Great White Playing Tag with you is Usually Fatal (Even though you don't have that good Bacon Fat like Seals that Great Whites Love). My adventure swimming thru a School of Jellyfish seems kind of Wimpy to this Young Lady Experience with a Bull Shark in the Same Waters.

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth - I've been in the Water with Nurse Sharks, Black Tip, White Tip and Lemons, I don't look Like a Fish, I'm Good. From Personal Experience I can tell You don't Mess with Lemons, They Don't Like It and Have Bad Attitudes and Forget Trying to Ride a Nurse Shark, They are Much better swimmers than You Are. There is a Reason My Other Handle is "Blue Shark" I love the Water and the Critters In It.
