<\/p>\nAustralian Turia Pitt, 24, had it all: a successful career, a partner, and beauty. The girl\u2019s life significantly turned on September 2, 2011, when she almost perished in a fire. Nevertheless, Turia could not only survive the disaster but also improve her quality of life.<\/p>\n
Forty participants began the 100-kilometer event that RacingThePlanet was holding that September day. The competitors could only cover a fourth of the distance before the nearby grass and bushes took fire.<\/p>\n
Although these kinds of fires are frequent in Australia this time of year, the organizers neglected to take safety precautions beforehand, and numerous athletes, including Turia, were engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n
The girl decided to go straight through the flames as it continued to get hotter. She thus sustained third-degree burns, with 65% of her body being scorched.<\/p>\n
Turia was one of the contestants in the Miss Australia competition and had a career as a model before the catastrophe. She worked as a mining engineer in a diamond mine.<\/p>\n
She dated Michael, a high school classmate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The girl said that she lived up to her wildest expectations. But in a split second, everything was altered. She remembered asking herself why the doctors saved her life during that horrible time in the hospital.<\/p>\n
Turia stayed in hospitals for a total of 864 days. More than 200 procedures were performed on her, including one to repair her nearly entirely burned-out nose. Amputating five fingers was necessary.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The injuries gradually recovered. Turia, however, could not force herself to leave the house. She had the impression that her deformed hands and face would draw the notice of others.<\/p>\n

Michael was close to Turia throughout this challenging time.<\/p>\n
He bought a diamond ring and promised his father, \u201cIf she lives, I will marry her,\u201d even though the girl was in intensive care. \u201cWell done, man,\u201d he said in response.<\/p>\n
Michael left his job to care for his loved one in the hospital, washing, dressing, feeding, and teaching her to walk.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Later, when reporters questioned Michael about why he acted so disrespectfully, he responded, \u201cMy fianc\u00e9e is still the same attractive and active person with whom I fell in love. She hasn\u2019t altered; only her skin has.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Michael persuaded Turia that attractiveness goes beyond having a flawless figure. It manifests itself in the way we act, walk, talk, gaze at others, and take actions.<\/p>\n
Because of his encouragement, the girl was determined to enjoy life to the fullest.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cI had to experience horrific things. Michael was by my side, I knew, nevertheless. I was able to cope because of his love and the love of my family, says Turia.<\/p>\n
In the Maldives in 2015, Michael Hoskins proposed to his girlfriend by placing the same ring she had been wearing for four years on her finger. Moreover, the couple welcomed a son, Hakawai, in December 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
