Chris Norton is motivated and inspirational. Norton was paralyzed from the neck down while playing football during his freshman year. Doctors told him he has a 3% chance of ever walking again.

Norton did not accept those odds.

"I made it publicly known that I wanted to walk across the stage at graduation," he said.

"I didn't know how I was going to walk across the stage, but I knew it was going to happen."

And he did. And it was fantastic.
