Title: I sit all amazed
Description: When Steve Mikita was 18 months old, he was diagnosed with Werdnig-Hoffman's Disease and given six months to live. But his parents had a different plan for their son. Instead of taking Steve home from the hospital to die, his parents took him home; Steve defied the odds and lived. He is now 53 years old and has outlived both his parents. Though he has spent his entire life in a wheelchair, he graduated magna cum laude from Duke University and received a juris doctorate from BYU. He works as an assistant attorney general for the State of Utah.
