In 2006, I was swimming off Sunshine Beach with some friends and my brother Taariq, on a life-saving exercise.

Two guys stayed in the boat while Taariq and I swam out. Then something caught my eye --- a large shark fin heading towards my brother. I shouted to the guys in the boat to get Taariq out and I tried to draw the shark’s attention away from my brother by hitting the water. It worked. But now the shark was swimming towards me.

As the three-meter “great white” circled me, I tried to push it away with my feet. But that only make it angry. It swung its body round, making a huge splash.

I tried desperately to swim away, but my right leg wouldn’t move. I looked down and saw why: everything below my knee was in the shark’s mouth. It was like a dog with a bone, shaking me violently.

I screamed to the guys in the boat for help as the shark took me underwater, still shaking me with my leg in its mouth. I was running out of my breath and my lungs felt as if they were on fire.

Then I got so angry, I thought, “I’m not going down without a fight.”I started attacking the shark with all my remaining strength, grabbing its eye and punching its nose.

I gave one last enormous push and heard a great snapping sound. Suddenly, I was free. When I broke the water surface I was close to blacking out.

The boat was nearer now, and Taariq grabbed my hand and started pulling me out. He held my injured leg, trying to stop the bleeding. I didn’t know it, but halfway down my leg there was nothing left.

After I left the hospital, I felt angry about what had happened to me at first. But my brother told me not to give up on life. I followed his advice and less than two years later I was chosen to attend the 2008 Beijing Paralympics(残运会).
